SolidCAM Reviews
Pros
3 axis mill operation is one of the best feature which help me to define milling operation. Also define machine feature is very helpful to define the milling operation in 4 and 5 axis of milling.
Finish product is as expected and produced at the greater speed. With the help of the available features in software expected results can be obtained.
My overall ratings for SoildCAM is 8/10. Reason for that much ratings is that SolidCAM suits perfectly to the kind of design I do and It's support is great.
Cons
This software is lagging with lower configure computers.
There is nothing more to tell about the cons, the only thing is sometimes the system will crash.
2018 is one of there worst years yet for support and software crashes.
"Full of functions in machining"
Overall: Awesome software for machining. Also can able to get details and support from the Solidworks.
Pros: The machining functionalities are at the more higher level. Anyone can learn quickly how to use the software because of the easiness of the controls.
Cons: The required ram of the computer somewhat higher than normal condition, because of the software is very heavy one. Otherwise it is slowdown the software.
"Perfect software for inventory management and designs."
Overall: I really enjoy using solidcam for my inventory management.
Pros: I like the feature of the inventory management than any feature else on solidcam.
Cons: Right now there is nothing missing with solidcam as far as I have being using it, it's working perfectly.
"Solidcam Review"
Overall: not bad, i still have issues form day to day but that could be a combination between the software and my ignorance.
Pros: easy of use is the the biggest pro. i already knew solidworks so learing solidcam cam pretty easy.
Cons: post processor issues could be better. 2018 is one of there worst years yet for support and software crashes.
"Best in class Solution for CAM integrated inside CAD software"
Overall: With Tight integration to CAD software's the design-to-production life cycle is easy and fast and complex 4-5 axis projects can be easily handled. The tool life is extended considerable through i Machining Technology
Pros: 1) Seamless Integration inside CAD environment 2) Very short learning curve due to interface integrated to design softwares 3) Visual representation of complete tools and fixtures and simulation of tool path 4) Scalable solutions as customer requirements grow 5) Finally all these features and capabilities at a competitive pricing 6) Change in tool path as and when Model design is changes inside cad
Cons: There are not much disadvantages which can be pointed at considering all those unique features and technology built into it
"Probably the right tool for some businesses"
Pros: This software was provided on a trial for us to use with a CNC machine and we have since extended it because the price was right. However, we don't get much use out of it and probably could just use an extension of our current software.
Cons: For what it does the software is pretty good and manageable.
