About

Ease-of-use is just one of the reasons that ALPHACAM is the industry standard and system of choice for programming CNC routers. Tooling and machining techniques unique to this industry are accommodated by ALPHACAM’s dedicated Router modules. Horizontal aggregates for machining parts such as hinge reliefs and lock mortices, are easy to control using ALPHACAM. Standard fixtures can be created and saved within the system and inserted on to work planes when required, providing significant time savings. ALPHACAM is leading CAM software for milling from 2-Axis through to 5-Axis programming. The emphasis behind the development of ALPHACAM is to provide our customers with productivity, reliability and flexibility. ALPHACAM is one of the leading and most established suppliers of CAD CAM software for the stone industry. ALPHACAM Stone has been specifically developed to address the unique challenges encountered when machining marble and stone.

About

CNC Software for Non-Machinists. MeshCAM is the fastest way to generate gcode. You have a simple goal, to take a CAD file and get your mill to cut it. You don’t want to become an expert on CAM software, you want parts today. MeshCAM is made for people who just want to make parts now. MeshCAM works with almost every 3D CAD program by opening the two most common 3D file formats, STL and DXF. If you just want to make 2D parts without using a 3D CAD program, you can load 2D DXF files (in R12 format) and extrude them to a 3D part. Sometimes you need a part that cannot be designed with a traditional CAD program. Sometimes you don’t even have a CAD program. If this sounds like you, don’t worry. You can open any image file (JPG, BMP, or PNG) in MeshCAM and the image will be converted to a 3D surface that can be machined directly. Users have come up with incredible uses for this feature to make parts that would be almost impossible with a traditional CAD program.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Simply the best. Everything is simple and straightforward. I can recommend it to anyone, either hobbyist machinist or full time production company.

Cons

  • Solid model extraction can be a bit complicated to use sometimes but i give it kudos.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • That I didn't have to spend any money to test it.

Cons

  • Tool paths were ridiculous, tool was cutting air more than metal. Run times in hours not minutes.
