Hi All,
I am new to the forum but I wondering if someone can help me understand something regarding modern cad/cam software. We use Edgecam (ultimate milling suite) for all of our offline programming but we also have Fusion360 for creating my 3D models. I have no experience of the CAM side of fusion360. To be honest Edgecam costs us a lot, not just in the initial purchase price but also in the maintenance.
It has made me wonder why anyone would consider the purchase of these expensive software packages when Fusion 360 appears to do it all?
As we have committed to Edgecam, not only in the purchase but also training wise we will stick with it for the time being. For a new user to Cad/Cam though, surely Fusion 360 is way more cost effective?
Am I missing some major drawbacks to Fusion 360?
Thanks.
