FeatureCAM Reviews & Product Details

I bought it for my business for 5 years, then stopped using it due to medical issues. It worked well as I recall, an improvement over BobCadCam which I used for ten+ years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My 2010 version will not install into Windows 10 Home edition operating system. Any solution? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use. Very versatile. Easy to create tooling. Support is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Toolpath is a bit awkward to use. It takes a lot of steps to do more than one path. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's super user friendly as usual products for AutoDesk. You have so many different choice for bench. Which is awesome. Program is running fast and solid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Animations could be a little bit more smoother that's all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Usual AutoDesk quality. One of the best for CNC Programming. Program created for new users we can say. If you're familiar with these programs. You can dance better. New users surely find many tutorials online. Program also uses very low % of CPU. That means your fan won't run like crazy. Also they has a dark theme option which is great for who has eye problems like me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you don't have a high-quality computer, animation won't be so fluent and smooth but don't worry even if you have, the difference is not so much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automatic speed / feed rate calculation for different materials and the process for creating stock is a pretty good feature . The software is also fast provided the user has experience using it . Overall , If you're doing the same type of parts over and over again I would say FeatureCAM is very good . The fact that it supports 5 axis simulation and multi turret operations is a definite plus . The software is pretty fast and even if it takes some time to get used to , the end result is worth it. A very user friendly software . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some softwares out there that can take complicated parts with multiple operations better than FeatureCAM . The integration of Solidworks with FeatureCAM isn't really that great as I dealt with problems with auto feature recognition . The simulation feature is also not upto the mark .

AutoDesk's quality salutes us. Interface is simple, user friendly. Probably other programs can't reach this quality in next 10 years. Autodesk knows what user needs. You will put the part and use " Turn Properties ". You'll see your options so simply in opened window. I loved it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Autodesk wants more again. You may need to upgrade your computer in next versions. ( You can't have the high quality cheap. ) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After drawing model in 3D we can run the steps continuously to see how a CNC machine cuts the stock to form a particular product. This way you can eliminate bottlenecks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can’t import solidworks drawing to featurecam. I mean can’t import the design but you can mort the model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program makes you to use your CNC machine efficiently. Codes are so sensitive. Using it is so easy. I wasn't even meet with any CAM programs before FeatureCAM and I learned so quickly. Interface is simple and brilliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Animations could be more softer. Nothing else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This definitely reduces programming time. I like the platform; I can appreciate the ease of use and user friendly imaging that many of the younger guys found simpler and easier. However, the veterans, although they like it found compatibility issues that they couldn’t overcome or work with negating the usefulness vs cost factor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Program does not allow for C Axis Support; and the cost is considerably more than EZ cam; for this reason; for us it is not cost effective at this time. If C Axis support is integrated I may give it another go in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For CNC programming, this is one of the best software one can recommend. The five axis simulation provided by this software is a major plus. The codes are sensitive and using this software is very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no feature to dislike. Everything seems pretty good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
