Good evening,
In a bit of a dilemma, our company is looking at another seat for Cam.
We currently have Mastercam 2018, we was looking for another seat. So we had a quote and was quite expensive.
We have numerous lathes, mills (vertical and hori) and 2 Dorris Sharmans with full facing head and live tooling. We know the posts will cost a bit mainly on the sharmans but thats irrelevant.
So we have been looking at other options before we go ahead.
We have had Solidcam and a conference call from Fusion 360.
I have been using Mastercam for 7year's now and i'm quite comfortable using it. I have installed the 30 days demo for fusion 360 and seem to be really struggling with the software in basic stuff due to not knowing were everything is. (I did do Autocad 2d and 3d 9year's ago)
As for Solidcam it looks pretty similar to Mastercam.
So what i#m asking is:
1: What software would you recommend?
2. Is Fusion really that tricky to use?
3. Is Solidcam really as good as the reps made it to be.
Thanks Paul
