To select a sketch stock, select the second option, and if your sketch is a valid profile, it will appear in the list of available sketches. The image below is an example of a sketch to be used in sketch stock. Similar to how SOLIDWORKS revolved parts are created, the sketch stock will take a profile whether open or closed, and spin it on an axis to create a solid. Revolved sketch stock works by creating a sketch parallel to the part profile. The following image is an example of the cored strategy bar stock. With these, you can create a cylinder that can encompass your part to represent your real-world stock. The Bar stock parameters and Offset parameters give you the option to modify the bars' outer diameter, inner diameter, back of stock absolute, diameter offset, and Front and back offset.

Tolerance-based machining helps achieve superior tolerance and surface finish requirements by reading MBD and PMI data and selecting the machining strategies to meet the specified tolerances.In this CAMWorks tutorial, learn how to create stock profiles for turning machines. Achieve consistent, high-quality manufacturing with knowledge-based machining and the TechDB, which captures and reuses your best practices for consistent results. Feature-based programming and automatic feature recognition also save programming time because CNC intelligence is built into the software to identify operations, tools, feeds/speed rates, and more. You no longer need to maintain separate CAD and CAM files because all your part data is stored in one file. Additional functionality - for 5-axis simultaneous milling, mill-turn, wire EDM, nesting, simulation, shop floor solutions, and more - are available in subsequent product levels of SOLIDWORKS CAM and CAMWorks.Reduce your programming time with fully-integrated CAD/CAM that eliminates the need to import and export CAD files into your CAM system. SOLIDWORKS CAM includes 2.5 and 3-axis milling capabilities. SOLIDWORKS CAM is powered by CAMWorks and is included in every seat of SOLIDWORKS version 2018 or later on subscription. CAMWorks and SOLIDWORKS CAM provide a truly integrated, feature-based CADCAM solution for machine shops of all sizes.
