"Easy to use with great support"

4.5/5

What do you like best about SolidCAM?

The reason we purchased the software was to take advantage of trochoidal machining strategies, for this, the iMachining product works well.

Because SolidCAM is a SolidWORKS add-in, the geometry creation and editing are easier than porting from the CAD software to the CAM software. Or having to suffer through the CAD tools that most CAM software include.

The online videos and community support is great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidCAM?

It's probably not applicable to most users but, we have high speed spindles and machines. The iMachining doesn't allow me to set a minimum or floor speed / RPM. So I spend time editing the feeds and speeds. Templates help this, but it would be nice to have access to the algorithm itself.

When updating from version to version, it's easy to lose files because they get segregated into different folders. I found it best to clean out the old file locations and move the files to the new installation folders.

"Best Manufacturing Software I Have Ever Used.....Go for it"

3.5/5

What do you like best about SolidCAM?

I started SolidCAM during my 2nd year vacations and it was one of the best user friendly software's ever.

It was difficult at first but with proper training and support you can master the software in notime. The software provides a wide range of opportunities in the field of manufacturing and allows the user to define the constraints on their machine based on which the software makes the code. SolidCAM is a creation of Dessaults systems , made for a better productivity and manufacturing.The software allows you to be work freely ,stress free.It demands the users attenton. The software produces the time for manufacturing,product shape ,tool path etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidCAM?

The software provides a wide variety of options but the problem of proper usage of the options provided based on the users constraints , it may be in case of time, quality etc will not be monitored by the software.The software will not give you options based on your facilities in simple words.

The software demands the users attention throughout the process which is tiring.The software takes time to be mastered and skill is required.The use of the software as it demands attention for a long time, can create health issues like eye pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SolidCAM:

One of the best options provided. Personally used the software myself and liked it. Provides a lot of help in the field of manufacturing through SolidCAM software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product at the right price!"

4/5

What do you like best about SolidCAM?

I mainly use CamWorks. This product is very user friendly. Help menus and graphical images are very useful. Volumill is dialed in and works great. Five axis positional programming is very straight forward. All around good choice for those that use SolidWorks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidCAM?

Biggest complaint is that I have to empty the temp folder daily. If not, software will crash. Auto feature recognition is useless in my opinion. We have struggled with the original post processors provided by the reseller really bad! They have made them good, but we have had to work closely with them for months to develop good proven posts. Our equipment is Haas, very common equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
