3/21/2023 0 Comments Solidcam vs hsmworksNice if they had a better verification software provided, maybe this is the external module the HSM works guy was talking about, not sure what other people use but I still use the standard one that comes with Solidcamģ. Price is high, but aren't they all, and its virtually one offĢ. It does work pratically flawlessly with Solidworks, so if I was to say anything bad about Solidcam, it would be:ġ. But then again, this is relative to the parts we produce. Regards to modules, they pratically refused to sell me HSR (High Speed Roughing module) because they said I dont need it or can get away with using the HSS module I have. You have to buy modules according to what you need, I didn't even know everything by Solidcam was developed externally, but this doesn't affect me the slightest, its still a good software. Every CAM system will do posts and then need customising, I use to have Edgecam, and I didn't like that software at all, even with creating posts, personal opinion. Solidcam service, personally in the UK, has been pretty quick, they even helped me with programming a part, with regards to post processors, yes you have to pay them to custom build one, but I'm sure they will get as close to how you program, I have not had one built yet, as I programmed my posts myself, pretty easy once you get your head round it, However if/when we get a 5 axis, then I will have them write one. When the guys says bugs, its nonsense, everything will have bugs, but I have not found one. Probably in the past, never had issues with Solidcam from 2010 onwards, you get the odd shutdowns, like any software where it crashes, but unlike microsoft software, I would say this has happened only about 2 or 3 times to me in the year.
