RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Dolphin Partmaster

Bob Cad is the only Cam software I've used, so as I said, I am always tempted at trying something new, especially  Dolphin the way it gets bragged about.
 I was lured in by the low cost, and they continue to send me upgrades for 25% of advertised costs. I use the software to make a living, not as a hobby, and it has served me well. It is true that it took me a while to learn it, but I am comfortable with it now. (I could just be a slow learner).
If and when I buy Dolphin, I promise to give you all my report.

I am retired but for over 20 years I did CNC machinery installs, service,

maintainence, and design. I have yet to understand why anyone would

purchase BobCad, it is cumbersome, hasn't really improved with regard to

being user friendly over the years. I am not familiar with the newest

version but if they did what they have always done, it will simply be a

re-hash of earlier versions with no significant improvements. Their

so-called "post processing" is a total joke. I have several clients that

actually purchased BobCad/CAM. Because it was so difficult to use they

ended up purchasing Dolphin PartMaster, at my suggestion. There is NO

comparison between Dolphin and BobCad, Dolphin blows BobCad out of the water

and for similar costs. Dolphin has a TRUE post processor and it includes

the post processor editor so it is possible to write your own dedicated post

processor, not just change a few pre-determined parameters like BobCad

offers.



It has been several years since I used Dolphin but from what I see in their

newest versions they have kept up. For the price, I personally do not think

there is anything out there to compare to Dolphin.

About a month or two ago I posted on here asking for any advice on Dolphin

CAD/CAM. I didn't receive much feedback so just wanted to chime in quick.

For the past few years I tinkered with Bobcad, and never made it very far.

It claims the game, so unless I am a complete idiot, the software just

failed to produce much for me. A month after buying Dolphin, I must admit I

have gotten way further then what BCC allowed me to. They dont have the

rastor to vector which was nice, but outside of that I find it very nice and

easy.
