"PowerMill for laser-based manufacturing technologies"

5/5

What do you like best about PowerMill?

Its flexibility and automation capabilities. Even PowerMill is a software developed fpr machining purposes, we used it for laser-based technologies (surface treatment and additive manufacturing). We could do it thanks to its high possibilities of automation by macros and API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerMill?

Comparing with other softwares such as Siemens NX, which includes all the CAD and CAM functions in the same software, Autodesk has split the CAD/CAM capabilities into two different softwares: PowerShape and PowerMill. This is sometimes quite uncomfortable and time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerMill:

It is not the cheapest software, but it gives you a level of flexibility and automation that other softwares don't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerMill solving and how is that benefiting you?

Research in laser-based manufacturing technologies, mainly surface treatment processes and additive manufacturing of metal parts. Some client's parts have been successfully treated/manufactured thanks to PowerMill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
