    Exclamation Mastercam and Solid Edge

    Hi,
    Our company is looking for a cnc router software to run our new 2-1/2 axyx router. We are using Solid Edge. We are cutting plastic sheets (2d cutting only) We need a good nester and a good transfert between SE and the cam software. We have looked at 2 sofwares: Act Cut from Alma and Mastercam. We currently use Art Cam but it is almost useless for us: it doesn't recoignize Parasolid and the nester was not powerfull enought to nest most of my jobs.
    Any suggestions or experience would be very appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Mastercam can read solid edge directly. It has basic nesting standard and advanced nesting as an option.
