Re: Ranking of BobCAD-CAM
S3D
I use BobCAD-CAM pretty well everyday and I make money with it, I have used Hypermill in the dim and distant past but it is really expensive.
I think BobCAD-CAM gives bang for the buck and I have been able to work out some really good deals with them in the past, the sales people were pushy but could take no for an answer and come back another time.
I think the structure of the company has changed in the last 9 months or so but I see no benifit or negatives in this so far.
The CAD side of things does take some getting used to and has good and bad points, however the CAD is able to build all those little patches and boundaries that you need without putting restrictions in your way.
The supplied Posts are pretty good and there a whole load more for free download.
I do get some really neat stuff out of BobCAD-CAM and produce code for about 6 different machines from £140K Mazak to £500 cheap Chinese laser cutter.
I am happy with it.
