I have been trying to convince my supervisor to keep smart cam as our main stay. He's one who thinks there are better CAM packages that can be faster and more accurate in the generation of the code for our machines. Since all our machines are vintage 80's and a lot require special mods to the template file to put out the correct clearance for our particular fixtures and we do nothing really fancy (no wrapped geometry). I would just assume stay with SC. But we have vendors calling. Some we will have contact with will be Esprit, Unigrafics, Pro E, EdgeCam and Catia. So far we have had a rep from Esprit show his wares. I was impressed with some features, but wasn't impressed with having to modify the post processors using VB. So, if I may ask, which have any of you used and how do you like them compared to SC? No Vendor please!
