You don't even know how much the software costs, yet here you are blabbering on about how it will be priced very aggressively. What is your definition of a "fact"? Are they like all of the "facts" you brought us about HSMWorks? Like claiming you were "working with" HSMWorks? > Why, one might ask? > > The answer is simple: > > Delcam has the VAR's and the company reps to backup this new product > and market it properly. I saw the same Delcam ad dozens of times in magazines for years. I laughed every time I saw it. They were showing some sort of multi axis verification or backplot, and they actually had the tool assembly modeled backwards. It was a CAT50 holder with the endmill mounted where the pullstud threads in. This advertisement ran for years. That's some outstanding marketing and representation! Then again, in Banquerville, I suppose that's doing it "properly".

I've already posted what the NX quote was and I've already said that I've known Christian Briscoe of Delcam (previously EGS) for many, many years now... maybe 12? In any case Christian has always quoted my clients well below what Gibbs and Mastercam VAR's have quoted. > 2.5 axis? No one cares. No... you don't care. All of my clients as well as the company I now work for care. Consider that you're laid off again because you have priced yourself out of the market. I'm not there yet. About the only thing I've said I won't use any longer is BobCRAP and I reserve the right to change my mind if the company offers something I want in the form of training that I can't find elsewhere. >NX, Mastercam, Smartcam, et all... they're all > fairly "cheap" and simple to use. NX drilling interface isn't as good as SolidCAM's and I'd bet good money that Cimatron's drilling maybe even better based on what I know about using SolidCAM's drilling and how SolidCAM came to have the drilling interface it now has. >3D contour? A chunk more. For the last several years FeatureCAM has used the exact same toolpath surfacing engine as PowerMill and FeatureCAM 3 axis toolpath surfacing is very reasonable compared to the Mastercam and Gibbscam quotes I received. > We had a demo for the new Delcam impeller machining module: $45,000. Now > compared to NREC's at $100k, yes better priced. That's your area of expertise... not mine... not yet anyway. Perhaps you should lower yourself and try a CAM system running inside of SolidWorks like SolidCAM or the coming Delcam for SolidWorks or the new Hypermill For SolidWorks. I wouldn't bother with Mastercam For SolidWorks as it might bring back some bad old memories. ;>)
