great for positioning -especially with feature recognition. If you want full 5axis simultaneous forget fcam and move on to Delcam powermill - its the dogs bollocks!!!

yo pants in 2008 FC went to full simultanious 5 axis!

Has anyone used it? I'm curious to hear what types of tool path strategies it uses...

hmmmm.
lets see.....DelCam makers of powermill purchase EGS makers of FeatureCam one year later FeatureCam has full simultanious 5 axis.... :O
Yes I have played with it biggest drawback right now is lack of post of course I expect that to be fixed as its popularity continues to increase
an affordable USER FRIENDLY 5 axis software...pretty sure its going to continue to increase in popularity!

I just started using FeatureCAM 3 months ago. The positioning part works well, however the full 5 axis is lacking and the post isn't even close. DMU 50 with Seimens 840d which is a pretty common machine.
