All depends on what you want to do and how much support you need etc. I'd take a look at Featurecam also. Not too expensive but pretty powerful.
All of these programs have a learning curve so I would try and find someone from the company who can take your files and demo the software based on what you want to start with. IE, if you are using Inventor, have them take your Inventor files import them into their software and produce gcode etc. Getting a demo version and thinking that you will be able to evaluate their software in a day is unreasonable IMO. Some of the CAM software is very complex. Dave On 6/26/2010 2:45 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Hi > I want to ask about CAD/CAM or just CAM software.
