We have Onecnc and Mastercam. We have had Mastercam first for about 3 years. Two years ago we changed over to Solidworks for all the design from Autocad. We do a lot of intricate 3D tools and to use Mastercam alongside Solidworks is dreadful. Solidworks is true windows fresh and easy to use Mastercam is DOS and like stepping back in time. Going from windows to DOS type software in 2003 is a non event when you have to get the job done. We purchased Onecncxp expert a couple of months ago because we needed another seat of cam and have found that Onecnc is nothing short of brilliant. Firstly it is very much like Solidworks and secondly it is so easy to use. We bought it for less than half the cost of Mastercam also but already the output is so great that we are not using the Mastercam anymore. We only now use it to load old files for modifications. The settings, viewing, verification, machining functions and translators are all better in Onecnc as far as we are concerned. Infact a lot of the functionality is the same as Solidworks and it is almost seamless. If Mastercam had been a windows program we may have stayed with it but now that we have Onecnc we are pleased we went that way. This is only our opinion but I hope this helps.  |
