    What is the best CAM software for wire EDM work

    WE have a new AgieCharmilles Cut30 machine. It come with a native CAM package that is limited and requires lots of setup time especially if you wish to to lights off overnight work. We do only 2D today.

    We use SolidCAM on our mills but their WireEDM add on is expensive and there is little documentation on it.

    We are looking at VISI PEPS, FeatureCAM and OneCNC too.

    Are there any packages that really standout for reliability, feature recognition and support tabs? Thanks

    Hi Lumenium,

    I work for the company who developed the CAD/CAM on board the CUT30 machines.
    Have you tried the function "Sort by Phases + Optimize Wire Thread and Cut"?
    This should automatically sort your job to let the machine working without assistance.

    If you want, sent me a private message with the VCM file and I'll check it for you.
