I'm a new user of SprutCAM. I have to admit it, things in this little market are just plain expensive. I thought I'd go the cheap route and started with BobCAD. I've done a few things on it, it works, but.... Even for me, a newby, I found BobCAD too teadious. Too many steps to get the code I needed. MasterCAM was too expensive, solidcam, surfcam, featurecam, all fall under this category. However, SprutCAM gave me most of the features of the high end, high dollar stuff but at a reasonable price. I hope to attract more users of it to this board.
No, I'm not paid to post these... a discount would be nice though. Thanks Sprut!
