VisualCAM Reviews & Product Details

The customer support provided by the company goes above and, beyond to assist users through videos and phone calls ensuring that any issues are resolved promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VisualCAM may not cater well to users who require features, automation options without frustration. It is not particularly suited for purposes like programming one off cabinet designs or 3 axis machining; instead it seems focused on high volume production runs.

VisualCAM streamlines the task of generating CNC machine code from 3D CAD models. This leads to significant time and effort savings, while also aiding in the production of precise CNC machine code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not very useful for users with no prior CAM experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like MecSoft's tutorials firstly. I need to mention that because they seems to work hardly on it. So clear solutions and you probably learn so fast. They gave you a jump start for sure. Program is user friendly and fully suitable with SolidWorks. I used 2018 version and it was great. It works very fast if you compare with other add-ons to SolidWorks.

They're no so many users around. If you have a problem you probably talked with MecSoft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a good solution for 3 axis machining. In Turkey we used a demo from Desita ( distributor in Turkey ). We found quite helpful tutorials on internet especially on youtube. MecSoftCorporation works really great. You should check their channel if you want to jump start! I need to add that program is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Company works great but user amount is less. If your problem still continues after watching videos you need to call them. But they're helping for sure. (Tested in Turkey :) ) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Low initial cost and yearly maintenance fees. The nesting module was given away for free in an update a few years ago. There is very little learning curve, as features are straightforward and consistent. Software is not overly complex. Knowledge based machining is a very handy feature, allowing you to reuse common cutting strategies. Using knowledge bases, toolpath geometry can be automatically assigned by layer, color, or type, which can reduce programming time. Customer support is helpful and timely.

Program is very buggy. Crashes are all too common when posting code or modifying geometry. Network license is lost very frequently. CAD features are clunky at best, and cause the program to crash without warning at worst. Some features seem to work intermittently (trim and extend are hit or miss for me). Screen picks must be very precise, which can slow the user down quite a bit. The nesting module is useless for all but the simplest of jobs. Feature recognition only works for solid models, and gives mixed results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
