camworks is what I initially learned on when I was in school. I was the first one to learn on it and had no instructional help. It was easy to pick up. MasterCAM is what we use here. Its a little more difficult to learn but at the same time easier to get exactly what you want. What I like about SolidWorks is the fact that it has an easy simulation run through. But for that we just transfer it over to the CNCSimulator program and after a little tinkering with the tools and with stock dimensions it works great. |
