We are thinking about switching from surfcam to cimatron for are programming and electrode extraction needs. We would like to hear some opinions from programmers that use cimatron. The demonstration we seen was very impressive but can it do what they clam. Thank in advance for your opinion.

Cimatron is great software. Definately a step up from Surfcam. Great intelligent toolpaths. I highly recommend the switch.

I highly recommend Cimatron. I used to use Mastercam and glad I made the switch. I just wish the translators for it were free.

i use cimatron for electrode design , i only use they electrode feature for very complex 3d electrodes , that i cant design miself .

it's the best cam i ever used,

i used mastercam for about 8 years, edgecam for 2 years, tried esprit for about 6 months,

ciamtron kicks their buttttt, once you use it you will start calling mastercam, mastercrash, hehehe,

you can do a program load it to the machine, start it and walk away, come back and it's all done exacly as you programed it, i love this cam,

Been using it for 8 years, used Camax and smartcam before. The best all around, good updates, phenominal support. Toolpaths are safe and efficient compared to the rest of the pack. Good investment. We do prototypes, injection molds and also use it for pruduction parts.
