What happens when the global manufacturing community comes together in one place?
Ideas are exchanged. Technology comes to life. And the future starts taking shape.
That was the spirit of SolidCAM World 2026 in Chicago.
Across two action packed days, attendees experienced powerful presentations, inspiring customer stories, new technologies, and conversations focused on the future of CNC manufacturing.
The spotlight was on some of the technologies transforming the industry including Manufacturing AI, the latest SolidCAM innovations, and the evolving SolidCAM & SolidShop roadmap.
But SolidCAM World was not simply about showcasing what is new. It was about understanding what these innovations mean for manufacturers.
How can AI make programming smarter? How can digital technologies improve production? How can connected solutions help manufacturers gain greater visibility and control over their shop floor?
These were among the questions explored throughout the event.
Customer stories brought these ideas into the real world, showing how technology, expertise, and practical manufacturing experience come together to solve challenges and create new opportunities.
And perhaps most importantly, SolidCAM World created space for people to connect. Customers met experts. Partners exchanged ideas. Manufacturing professionals shared experiences. Conversations continued beyond the presentations and opened the door to new possibilities.
That combination of technology, knowledge, and community made SolidCAM World 2026 a truly memorable experience.
Chicago gave us two incredible days filled with energy and inspiration but the ideas generated here will continue well beyond the event.
Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, presented, and contributed to the experience.
The future of manufacturing is already taking shape.
Next stop: Italy. See you at SolidCAM World 2027!
