I think both Delcam and vectric deduct the price of initial software if you upgrade.? Same with Vectric software start with v-carvepro then migrate to Aspire.
Nothing wrong with Cambam but the others offer better features more suited to routing work IMO.ĭelcams Artcam express is great for £99 and can be upgraded as needed or upgrade to the more advanced Insignia or ArtcamPro. If taking the cheap route then without knowing your exact needs but suspecting it's mainly profile and relief work because of the Scm95 then I'd look to the Delcam or vectric software rather than Cambam.!. If I was spending a few grand on software and needed parametric I'm pritty sure I wouldn't buy this software and would look to something like Alibra.! I don't think it will make the machine work much more effeciently than any other Cad/Cam software that use's a good post processor built for the machine. Other than being more effecient regards changes made to CAD model which will slightly speed up the work process the Cam side will still need to be reprogramed to update any G-code for the same part. The Spai genio is so expensive because it's parametric software, I'm not sure if it's full Cam parametric in that it changes the G-code when 3D model is changed.? Given the low price I suspect not and would expect if Cam was Parametric they would be making a BIG mention about it.! As John says or go for something a little bit more simpler in life.
