I'm getting the sales calls from Bobcam, and their package is on sale this week. I've searched previous posts, but I don't see much comparing Bobcam to Camworks, Solidcam, and HSMworks, which seem to be the leading Solidworks-integrated alternatives to Mastercam.
I am pretty proficient with our old version of Mastercam, but it has issues and we need to upgrade. I know that to get a new copy of MC is pricey, but you get more features than the others I mentioned. Can someone give an idea of what features I'd miss out on?
We do 3D machining with a 3 axis Milltronics mill, of prototypes and injection molds. So it's nice to have a variety of toolpath options, but no 4/5 axis or other machine types are needed.
Thanks!
