The market-leading wire EDM CAM integrated in the leading CAD SolidWorks
Use the best CAM solution together with your preferred CAD system
The excellent Fikus CAM solutions for wire EDM completely integrated in the SolidWorks environment. Carry out all your CAD activities in the recognized SolidWorks software and, immediately, start all the CAM processes in the intuitive, flexible, efficient and proven Fikus CAM solution for wire EDM.
Innovative solution with advanced functions
FikusWorks allows to program machining in 2 and 4 axes, including pockets. Fikus can also perform rotary axis processes, such as the Spin & Burn function.
With FikusWorks a high degree of automation is possible thanks to the Feature Recognition function that recognizes all the characteristics of the elements to be machined. Even the threading of the wire is automatic.
Another outstanding feature is Auto-fix, which allows the workpiece to be easily removed with just a single stroke.
FikusWorks includes a multitude of functions, such as the new interface for cutting and threading.

Expert knowledge of the wire EDM technology
FikusWorks is leading innovation in CAD/CAM for wire EDM machining because of its acknowledged expertise in controlling this extremely accurate and sophisticated technology. Our close work with the technology leaders put FikusWorks ahead of other CAM packages when it comes to get the most out of your wire EDM machine.
With FikusWorks you can machine any contoured mold, die, core, cavity shape or profile. Control every cutting parameter: offsetting, automatic threading, position of the wire, constant and variable taper, and our latest improvement: Auto-fix, control of the remnant size for a better part disengage.
The Phases to Geo & Geo to Phases function (day/night option) allows maximum flexibility to organize machining processes helping to increase productivity by freely managing which processes will be performed without the need for operators to be present.
The deep knowledge of this technology and the inclusion of specific technological tables and post-processors for most of the machines on the market, allows Fikus to provide ultra-precise machining with the best surface quality.
Permanently updated
Thanks to FikusCloud online services, FikusWorks keeps postprocessors and technology boards permanently updated: updates to your wire machines will be immediately supported by your FikusWorks solution.
The Phases to Geo & Geo to Phases function (day/night option) allows you to decide which processes will be performed without operators being present
Optimal CNC programs in just three steps
Our engineers have developed FikusWorks with the goal of reducing the steps users must take to program a part. With each new release, FikusWorks simplifies programming in this complex technology until it becomes fully automatic.
FikusWorks is very easy to use and learn, and highly automated. It is only necessary to select the geometry, processes or parameters, and calculate.
The CAM manager, which guides the user from the definition of the part to be cut to the creation, calculation and simulation of each cutting process, generates the most efficient machining.
The Automatic Feature Recognition function detects detects all of the feature types to be cut on a part with just a couple of mouse clicks.
The Drill Wizard detects all drills, grouping them according to their features, and automatically and efficiently programs their machining.
Customizable templates allow you to save proven cutting strategies for future use on similar parts, saving time and avoiding errors.
Versatile drill grouping
Get the most out of your machines
Because not all machines work in the same way
FikusWorks has specific technological developments for each machine, because not all machines work in the same way. Our engineers have developed machine-specific technological assistants and postprocessors to allow FikusWorks users to prepare their machining in just seconds, easily and without errors. The post processors will generate an optimal cutting strategy for each machine and job type.
FikusWorks enables users to leverage the full capabilities of their machine investment to be competitive in a global market from the very first minute
FikusWorks includes cutting conditions databases from machines of the main machine makers, new and old, allowing you to generate programs automatically and easily, regardless of your machines.
