Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Solid modeling/Cam

Try Bobcad Version 18, I use it and satisfied with it. Its a bit different than autocad. Try to locate a few lessons to orient yourself with it. It's not a full blown, extremely smooth CAD/CAM package however for the price it isnt all that bad.

I am looking for a Cad/Cam program to use on a Shoptask machine, so I
need both a mill and a lathe module. I was looking into Vector, but
after using the demo for a couple days, its not quite what I was
looking for. I've had several years of Autocad in college, and I find
it faster to use when making wireframe 3d models, it just doesnt do
cam. I also learned featurecam, so thats what I tend to compare
software to, too bad I'll never be able to afford it.
Are there any low priced (<$900) cad/cam programs that use
solid models instead of wireframes? Or should I just look into
getting a Cam program and using AutoCad to generate the surface
models?
