I am looking for feedback from users that have 5 axis machines. My company currently has a 3 axis cnc router (CMS) and is just starting the process of looking at a 5 axis machine for some new products that require 5 axis machining. If we move ahead with purchasing a 5 axis, it will be another CMS machine. I design in Solidworks.
So, a couple of questions.
1. What cam software do you use?
2. Likes and dislikes
3. What cad software do you use for your surface modeling?
4. How has tech support and training been for you from your cam company?
5. Approximate cost of software and maintenance fees.
Thanks in advance.
Paul
