BEST CAD/CAM for Plasma Cutting-Ratfink-10-05-2021 Hi everyone. I need some help figuring out what cad/cam, ir either or, or both I can use for plasma cutting? I have a SprutCam license however at this point I think its easier to learn Sumerian or Martian language while doing underwater basket weaving... 不是软件,有轻微自我直观that I dont need to learn another programming language. Its not like im stupid... Im a web developer and write complex SQL Server scripts... But I am not impressed with SprutCam.. I cant even draw a simple square or circle with dimensions... More wasted time and money I guess.. I just need something fast and fairly easy so I can get some work done. Can anyone please provide some suggestions? Thanks in advance. RE: BEST CAD/CAM for Plasma Cutting-Albert-10-07-2021 It is not straightforward to recommend a CAD/CAM software package. Each CAD/CAM software has advantages and disadvantages. With RoboDK we try to support any generic G-code/NC/APT machine code so you can use a robot like a CNC for robot machining. I understand your frustration with your current solution and I do share with you that some software is not easy to work with. We had a similar discussion here: //www.sinclairbody.com/forum/Thread-Suggestions-For-CAD-CAM-Software This is the updated the list of the CAD/CAM software we have plugins for: Autodesk Fusion 360 (great subscription option if you don't need advanced 5 axis milling) Autodesk Inventor Autodesk FeatureCAM MecSoft RhinoCAM Siemens SolidEdge BobCAD/CAM (coming very soon) OpenMind HyperMill (coming very soon) Alphacam (plugin sold by Vero Software/Hexagon) WorkNC (plugin sold by Vero Software/Hexagon) Mastercam Rhinoceros (Rhino is CAD but has plugins for CAM such as RhinoCAM or Madcam) SolidWorks TopSolid (plugin sold by Missler Software) But I insist, you can still use other CAD/CAM software that we don't have plugins for. We support standard formats such as STEP/IGES/STL for 3D models and NC/G-Code/APT for robot machining projects. RE: BEST CAD/CAM for Plasma Cutting-Karl-08-15-2022 Is a Sprutcam pliugin coming in the near future? RE: BEST CAD/CAM for Plasma Cutting-Albert-08-15-2022 We currently don't have a plugin for Sprutcam, however, you should be able to load NC files in RoboDK to create a robot machining project.
