In my opinion Mastercam is faster,better, easier than Unigraphics for CAM. For CAD I prefer Solidworks. My company was using Unigraphics but laid off most of the Engineers. Other equipment we buy from other companies was done on Solidworks which I learned and prefer now.
........Mastercam is better for 1 part or at least very few parts in an assembly. After all when fabricating you usually make parts one at a time. Solidworks and Unigraphics are better for larger assemblies with more parts. Also programs like Solidworks can show bent or rolled sheetmetal and also what the piece would look like before bending and rolling. So I prefer Solidworks or Unigraphics for CAD and Mastercam for using the CAD model (part) for doing CAM. |
