How was this program for one time using? **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** GÖKER G. | Mechanical Engineering, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2019 **What do you like best about AlibreCAM?** I like the way their magnificant effort for their users! They're uploading so many tutoarials to learn fast as possible as their users can. It's a good solution for 3-axis milling. Animation of nozzle is nice and smooth. You probably watch until the end. **What do you dislike about AlibreCAM?** Not enough people to get help. You need to talk directly with MecSoft If you're not familiar with these problems or couldn't find the solution for your problems. **Recommendations to others considering AlibreCAM:** I don't want to send people to wrong direction. I don't think I don't have enough knowledge to recommend this program or not. I just wanted to share my experience. **What problems is AlibreCAM solving and how is that benefiting you?** One of partner was using it so we used this program with them in 2 projects. ### 3. Impressive first start **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ilker K. | Sales Responsible, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2019 **What do you like best about AlibreCAM?** MecSoft's behavior. When you have any problem you're free to contact with them. They're helping as much as they can. Program designed user friendly. The important point is (for me) a program should guide you while you're working on a part. They put the most common commands in front of you. **What do you dislike about AlibreCAM?** There isn't almost no tutorial except MecSoft's Youtube Channel. It seems like not so much user using it. **Recommendations to others considering AlibreCAM:** It's a useful program. If you want a new adventure you can start with it. But it won't be a better choice for a first start. I don't recommend for new users. But others will highly welcomed. **What problems is AlibreCAM solving and how is that benefiting you?** Worked with TUBITAK with FESTO ### 4. Easy Solutions **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Furkan . | SALES ENGINEER, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2019 **What do you like best about AlibreCAM?** Interface. It's very useful and so easy to do what you wanted. You have a smart menu at the top. I really liked it. It's so useful menu as SolidWorks's menu. **What do you dislike about AlibreCAM?** Nothing yet. I really liked it. But I only used twice. Not so much. **Recommendations to others considering AlibreCAM:** You can use as an alternative CAM program. So far I'm pleased to use it but I didn't have so many business with it. You can also find so many guides on YouTube. **What problems is AlibreCAM solving and how is that benefiting you?** I used to see if it's more useful dan SolidCAM. I see these are pretty similar. Just used for seeing difference between them. ### 5. Soft use, user friendly interface **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Yavuz Fatih . | Sales Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2019 **What do you like best about AlibreCAM?** I wrote in the title. This program could have the most user friendly interface. It's so easy to learn. It's my first program and I learned very fast. You can find so many tutorials. 2-axis Cnc Turn is beyond most of programs with fluent animantions, reach to most common methods and it helps to user to machine part in a very short time. **What do you dislike about AlibreCAM?** Dark theme would be a good option. In windows 10 it works perfectly but in windows 7 it works slowly. **Recommendations to others considering AlibreCAM:** If you are new there isn't any way to start better. **What problems is AlibreCAM solving and how is that benefiting you?** Worked on a project in university. - [View AlibreCAM pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/alibrecam/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-14+08%3A50%3A06+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=e7b68b10-921d-482c-a47e-62ba90fb1a45&secure%5Btoken%5D=a4ad1e2bdfb334c8113de5a7a284ba43a5bfddd1086deae4dbd2e29a38195179&format=llm_user) ## AlibreCAM Features **CAD to CAM** - CAD-CAM Import - CAM Data Exchange - CAD/CAM Compatibility **CNC Programming** - CNC Workflows - CNC Feature Recognition - Programming Control **Machining** - Job Set-up - Operations - Tooling and Toolpaths ## Top AlibreCAM Alternatives - [Autodesk Fusion](https://www.g2.com/products/autodesk-fusion/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (507 reviews) - [Designcenter Solid Edge](https://www.g2.com/products/designcenter-solid-edge/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (581 reviews) - [SOLIDWORKS](https://www.g2.com/products/solidworks/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (628 reviews)
