Hi
I was wondering if there is anybody out who have used both Edgecam and Mastercam and which did there think was the more competed for 5 axis millturn jobs and of coarse general turning and milling applications.

Any info would be greatly received.

Hi, I using Edgecam with Okuma Multus multitask machine. I use postprocessor made by CodeWizard and it do just what I want it to do. I think that the strenght of Edgecam is CodeWizard postprosessor modifyin, it's wery useful with complicated multitask machines.

Mastercam is wery stable and complex program, but I think that postrpocessor modifying is not so easy.

Any 5X post for mastercam will most likely have to be written by the dealer. The Edgecam code wizard let you do it yourself and save a bundle of money. 5X Mastercam post will be about $1500-$3000 (US).
