CATIA: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros - CATIA is inherently very powerful and helps everyone from large automotive companies to small product designers deliver their products. Cons - The modular theme of CATIA can make it heavy on the purse for those who need a lot of features.	Mastercam: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Ease of use, availability of FREE training, and community assistance via youtube. The majority of schools teach using this software. After 30 years of putting up with this software as an All-Axis programmer now I’m done with this garbage software that always have problems. Why Mastercam puts out a software with so many issues that crashes constantly same as 30 years ago. Fire your engineers software programmers and bring real people on board. Cons Support could be improved with more knowledgeable staff. You can never rely on this software believe me I’ll be on it since the day open up their doors they were running on DOS more than 25 years ago but the problems are all still there. Why because they don’t give a damn about what they putting out half fast done stressing out the programmers. Believe me I can program any machine but Mastercam is getting worse and worse and worse every day. Here’s the problem, Mastercam instructors never been on a machine before. $23,000 pile of garbage.
