MasterCAM (probably too expensive, I’ll get to this below).SolidWorks CAM (far too expensive for my current use).BlenderCAM (likely buggy and limited, doesn’t have much documentation).That out of the way, when investigating F360 alternatives I’ve looked at: I would prefer to have all my software and files as a local resource and, if possible, with a license rather than a subscription. I’m not much fond of its modeling (especially as I can use SolidWorks for that) and am fundamentally opposed to the cloud-only model. F360 is fantastically capable as a CAM resource, but I don’t care for it Fusion360 for a variety of reasons.

Recently, I’ve done a fair bit of hunting for F360 alternatives. As well as something that is able to handle quick & dirty 3 axis stuff, just as well as complex 5 axis work.Not to start a new CAM thread, and apologies if this is redundant, but I couldn’t find a good answer for the conclusion I’ve come to. What are your UBIASED thoughts on the pros and cons between these CAM packages? My coworker and I, at our old shop, set up, and were able to output a very nice setup sheet at the push of a button in Esprit, and that's definitely something we are looking for. Myself and another coworker come from the same Esprit shop, so a demo of that is on its way, as well.as Hypermill, and Camworks. That being said, we are exploring other options.

Our reseller rep was hardly able to make a tool-path without an error message, and support has just not been acceptable, considering the cost. Needless to.say, it was a complete shit-show. We recently had our reseller come in to help with some migration stuff, do a little training to get some of the beginner guys more advanced, and just help squeeze a little more of Mastercams capabilities out of it. We currently use Mastercam, and it's been.ok. Everything from 30 Taper robodrill 3 axis, to a huge Dixi, Matsuuras, OKK's and a pretty insane Yasda PX30i 35 pallet, 5axis machine coming in December. The shop I work at is in a transitional state.
