A Very Poor Product
|
|
I purchased BobCAD-CAM after speaking to the sales rep and being assure that it works with a 4th axis.
After receiving the product, reading the manual, going through the tutorials, and finally calling tech support I was told by Tech Support that it DOES NOT support 4th Axis.
Additionally It would not properly read any of the .dfx files that I tried to import.
So after a bunch of phone calls I finally got them to take the product back.
I went out and purchased VectorXT and it is a much nicer product, and handles .dfx files, 4th axis, and 3d properly.

Annoying salespersons, doesnt calculate toolpath, it draws it.
|
|
We needed something to do a few parts, but werent ready to throw down 10k. This doesnt actually calculate toolpath, it draws it from offsets. It took me around 6 to 8 hours to program a single part that would have taken 30 minutes with most any other cam package.
Dont trust the salespersons like stated by other review, for a hobbiest that cant afford something else, this could do the job. Definately not something for a real shop.

BobCAD V23 : Low cost solution, easy to use, over all very strong programming options
|
|
Cons:
|
No 5 axis
|

I find BobCAD to be the all around solution. It offers many feature in 2D and 3D. I've used the software for many years now starting with V15. BobCAD had always been a simple g-code assist package, but that's all changes. The V23 software is much much more powerful then I though BobCAD would ever become. The Art package they offer I find to be very powerful. It's a system that can be used in almost any shop or at least in mine. The support forum they have is a great place to learn more about the software. www.bobcadsupport.com .
Before I upgrade I always get a live demo of the software with one of their technical advisers. This way I know what the software can do and the person I am asking key questions to knows the answers. It's really neat they do it over the internet and I watch them running the software on my screen. Much better than the fax feature sheet I got in the past.
I would say the salesman are very aggressive in selling their software.
With a little negotiations you can get a really good package price. I got one of the show packages as an upgrade with all the add ons. For the $1495, I've more than made my money back...
