Although seven computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software products have achieved so-called Gold Partner integration with SolidWorks, CAMWorks is the first such software to be seamlessly embedded within Solid Edge. In June 2013, Geometric Software released a version of CAMWorks integrated with Solid Edge, the value priced CAD system from Siemens PLM Software. Fusion is a frankenstein monster that will forever be an unstable mess because that team doesn't understand non-hobby / higher level, work spaces.Here’s a look at the features and capabilities of version 1.05 of Solid Edge.ĬAMWorks was first published as an add-in application for numerically controlled (NC) tool programming in SolidWorks in 1997. Solidcam feels like somebody stole HSM's code base and ran out the door.
Mastercams alright but i feel like sometimes somethings are like 15 more clicks than they need to be. Although them updating one thing in 3 years is not a good way to retain a user base. However I will use powermill until autodesk says they are discontinuing because the macro environment is so fucking GOOD, not having to have a computer programming background to automate something is incredible. Powermill lets you control everything you could want with a toolpath, but it might be the most un-user friendly software I've used in a long time. Featurecam is super easy to use for 2.5 programming and does 3d fairly well. These are the programs autodesk is ransacking to make fusion. Powermill for multi-axis, or if I need smooth tool path. Sorry if this post was all over the place, I'm just freaking tf out. I'm willing to learn another software but I need to start ASAP because as y'all know it takes some time. I literally cannot import many models because they are "too big". Does anyone here use CAMWorks or Fusions CAM and can give me their opinions?Īlso, I've noticed that solidworks is a piece of shit when it comes to complex shapes. But I am really good at it, but I don't want to be limited just in case I decide to move companies. It seems like everyone hates CAMWorks, and I get it. It seems like SolidWorks and Fusion are the go to CAD programs, but I am not so sure about the go to CAM programs. I have a 4 axis machine, but not a 5 axis machine to practice on. Then I will need to learn 4 axis and 5 axis. I've got training scheduled to learn more about 3 axis milling, but I think I'll pick that up pretty easily. I'm trying to take it to the next level and get into surfaces, 3/4/5 axis programming and machining. I have faith that I can tackle just about any 2.5 axis parts at this point, and honestly it's getting.
