Even basic fusion has some things that look appealing to me. Hypermill? Also Mastercam with the 5 axis deburring module looks awesome. Tech support has been good, but a lot of the time they cant even explain the "why" behind the bugs I am seeing.įor those of you who program 5 axis mills - I am curious if you have used Camworks before with success? If so - have you since switched to a more "advanced" software? i.e. I feel like I am constantly tricking the software into getting the results I need. For the most part, I can get things done, but sometimes the multiaxis stuff requires a lot of workarounds / surface offsets / trimming to get what I want. We purchased Camworks with the full blown simultaneous package - We got up and running pretty quickly, but there is definitely some quirky behavior in the software. It seems like a lot of the local guys use Camworks / Solidworks CAM, but most are not doing any 5 axis milling.


I have used mastercam for solidworks in the past - years ago, and had some success. We made the jump this year to 5 axis milling - I have a lot of experience designing inside of solidworks, and am very used to the interface, so I wanted something that integrated into solidworks.
