Hi!
I know there is a lot of these threads here, but i can't seem to find exactly what i'm looking for.
I work at a small mechanical manufacturing company, and we are now investing in a CAD/CAM system. For the CAD-part we are going for Solidworks, this is already decided. For the CAM we are considering SolidCAM and EdgeCAM. The reason for this is mainly that these are the most available with regards to dealers, costumer support, and training.
The software is mainly going to be used with a couple of 3-axis mills, a simple CNC-controlled lathe, and a turning/milling centre with sub-spindle and y-axis (doosan puma 2600 LSY).
Does anyone have any opinions, pros/cons etc, and recommendations for me?
SolidCAM has iMachining, and EdgeCAM has waveform - which is the best?
Computer simulation and anti-collision control is a big priority for us when it comes to the PUMA, since this is a very collision-rich environment to work with.
Thanks for any tips and pointers. :)
