Like it or not, they are the #1 software out there. If it were a plug-in, I couldn't be sure of that.įinally (and this is a weak argument): if you go with Mastercam, you'll have the benefit of plenty of other users here (misery loves company ). If I want to get current, I don't have to upgrade Solidworks along with it. I've been off of maintenance for 3 years on Mastercam. I also didn't want to be restricted/forced to upgrade the two packages in lock-step. Having simple wireframe modeling in your CAM system is handy when you're setting origins or building construction geometry around your solid (for collision avoidance or to manipulate entry points or other cutter behavior). Solidworks also lacks decent wireframe modeling. In the end, I didn't want to drag around all of the cutter path nonsense, when I was working on Solidworks models. I know that wasn't one of your options but I'm also a Solidworks user and gave strong consideration to the embedded, plug-in type and the standalone software.
