    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.

    Overall: It's been 4 years of using ALPHACAM and i can simply say I'm not changing it anytime soon to other programming software.
