Small shops will benefit

|BobCAD-CAM
The price was a huge selling point for us initially. I am a foreman, and programmer, in a small shop, and before bobcad we did not have any sort of CAD/CAM system. Also, we had minimal experience with CNC when I first started. I was able to learn Bobcad exceptionally quickly and explain it to others. It is very user-friendly. The customer service is fantastic too. They have tons of resources via youtube, Facebook, and their website for tech Tuesdays. I love telling other shops about bobcad and how beneficial it was for us. A genuine small shop can not spend over $20,000 for a program. This is a program that just about anyone can figure out, without taking months worth of classes. We've been using bobcad for over 6 years now and look forward to where they are headed.

Powerful in experienced hands

|BobCAD-CAM
The strength and versatility you get for the price is great. I've been using BobCAD-CAM for over 10 years. I've machined parts for many industries - Ranging from custom motorcycles, cars, firearms, D.O.D. , aerospace, and oil & gas. I like how it allows me to take control of my tool paths without holding me back.

Excellent software at an exceptional price

|BobCAD-CAM
BobCad is incredibly easy to use, I was able to teach myself how to use it using the many available YouTube videos. The BobCad afterdark page is also an excellent resource. I have also used fusion 360 and dabbled in mastercam. Plotting points and lines is straightforward and extruding into solids is very easy. Coming or going from any software can be cumbersome and take patience. We have not had a part come through our shop that we have not been able to quote and machine. Our shop does everything from 2-5 axis, including millturn and we couldn't be happier with the software. We are on the advantage plan, so we do get the new version every year. I've found by putting in feature requests, the company listens and I have even seen a few from our shop in the next version. I would highly recommend this product to any company looking for CADCAM software.
