![]() I have been using ProCAD/ProCAM for nine years. ![]() Metalcut RE: HELP! Which CAM software to purchase?ĪVOID the Teksoft ProCAM software like the plague. I welcome all input regarding any of these three packages. I have heard that ESPRIT's tech support is weak though. I have had all three companies in for demos and, with the expection of CAMWorks not handling our lathes, I am confident that all three packages will meet our needs. PROCam (another TekSoft package that CAN handle our lathes) will be included at no cost until CAMWorks can handle them. It has SolidWorks on the front end, excellent tool file management (Access-based), it is half the price of ESPRIT, and our tech support would be fifteen minutes away. I realize that CAMWorks does not currently support the Integrex, or our C-axis lathes, but it has many advantages that have kept it in the running. I have narrowed our choices down to ESPRIT, EdgeCAM, and CAMWorks. Finally, we do lots of 3 1/2 axis milling on horizontal machining centers. We also have a 4 1/2 axis Integrex turning center. WE have many lathes that utilize C-axis and live tooling. To date we have done all CNC programming by hand, but I have a new boss that insists we go to using CAM software. We manufacture hydrualic piston pumps in low volume. CAMWorks is an intuitive, feature-based CAM software that helps to increase productivity using best-in-class technologies and adaptable automation tools to maximize CNC machining efficiency.I am an industrial engineer assigned to evaluate and purchase CAM software for our plant.
