Cad / Cam Software
KE5AFU:
Not sure if this is the right section or not, mods feel free to move if need be.
What cad / cam packages do you guys use?
I use a combination of Cobalt 7. and Autocad 2011 for Mac on CAD and in the CAM department I use EZ-Cam Pro.
Once you get used to the quirks, a few button clicks and you go from idea in head to conceptual drawing to G-code to finished part.
Just curious what other software is out there, and how it measures up.

eh... I don't think we really have a section :scratch:. So this one works :thumbup:
For CAD I am using Alibre. I really like it. I am still shopping for a CAM solution.
How do you like EZ-cam Pro?

Alibre Cam looks interesting from their site but the cost is something to think really hard about.
I'm using Bobcadcam at the moment. It gets the job done but I'm not totally impressed. Their support is not the greatest, especially if you're not paying for it. But the user forum is fantastic! Bobcad still owe me my post when I highlighted the oddity in 4th axis operation.
Vectric's Cut3D is fun to play with. Seems to be mainly for woodworkers. I'm playing with the demo at the moment. A friend of mine milled the leaf shaped bowl in aluminium. Pretty.
Hope for more input and sharing of Cam softwares.

Ez-Cam is pretty good, support comes with it so any issues you can just call and they will walk you through it.
Not just a over the phone deal either, they will log onto your computer remotely and show you what to do.
So far I'm satisfied.

Not really, think outside the box.
