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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
