From: Joe788 on 9 Nov 2009 23:16 Delcam now has a product that they can use to gain serious market share. They are combining PowerMill and FeatureCAM into a new product called Delcam For SolidWorks and it looks like it's going to be a killer application. The Jon Banquer blog has been updated to cover the new details that were released today. Right out of the gate Delcam For SolidWorks is going to have serious functionality for 2 1/2 axis through 5 axis mill. Support for lathe, mill-turn and wire edm in Delcam For SolidWorks is coming. http://jonbanquer.wordpress.com/new-delcam-for-solidworks-video/

You may not like where the market is headed of what manufacturing has become but it is what it is and one either makes the best of what's coming or they get out of the business... which from what you stated in another post is where you appear to be headed. You can take comfort in the FACT that when you got out it wasn't at a lousy $23.50 an hour and that you know the difference between quality CADCAM and Gibbscam. 1. Despite the FACT that SolidWorks is a Corolla it's far better than the CAD and graphics you get in stand-alone Mastercam, Surfcam or bottom of the barrel Gibbscam so moving a CAM application into very popular CAD program like SolidWorks is a huge step up from a stand- alone solution like Mastercam, Gibbscam, Surfcam,etc. 2. You can use a program like Solid Edge with ST2 or SpaceClaim to get around the problems with modifying "dumb solids" in SolidWorks. 3. Siemens can't market to the kinds of shops that most people who post here work in and they have shown they aren't very good at setting up a VAR network either. The sad fact is that NX's market will continue to shrink. 4. As more and more stand-alone CAM systems move to run inside of SolidWorks, because they have reached the limitations of what they can do because their CAD is so far behind, it will be to most machinists advantage to know SolidWorks because there will be more job opportunities if you know SolidWorks than if you know NX. The proof is: Mastercam For SolidWorks, Delcam For SolidWorks, Hypermill For SolidWorks, SolidCAM, CAMWorks, etc. This is where the manufacturing CADCAM market is headed. Stand-alone CADCAM from Gibbscam, Surfcam, Featurecam, Mastercam is already dying and it's going to start dying much, much faster very shortly. The Jon Banquer blog is the best place to stay current on where the CADCAM market is headed. The Jon Banquer blog is the leading CAM- centric blog in the Internet with hundreds of hits per day. If you don't read the Jon Banquer blog you can be sure of one thing... your competition is! ;>) www.jonbanquer.wordpress.com

If you don't want dumb solids then don't make them. If you got the data from someplace else just import it into your CAM program directly. You are not & never will be a designer, much less an engineer. How dumb can a banquer get? IS there any limit? -- Cliff
