anyone have anything to say about edgcam?

Okay just got back from a demo of edge cam. I have been running Surfcam for
the last 5 years. I see a lot of good things about edge cam. I am on the
verge of buying it. So does anyone have anything they could add good or bad
about the software?

Thanks
Todd Anderson

 

Have you looked at GibbsCam, thats what we use it came down between
Mastercam and Gibbs after checking out 5 other packages including Surfcam.
EdgeCam had some neat things, i just felt that Gibbs did things a little
easier especially with the part transfer button , we can now transfer a part
from SW with changes into Gibbs and automatically update the toolpath for
geometry changes with a push of a button.

 

Yes, we looked at that one as well. After seeing edgcam I can see it has
alot more strength than Gibbs.

 

I know people have had a problem with customer support here are some better
links to find machinists who use it.

Hello,

Check out CamWorks - it's a Gold Partner 'add-in' for SolidWorks.
I've enjoyed it for the last four years.
