CATIA forum for manufacturing?

[MetalFlake]

Looks like I'll be delving into Catia V5 soon. Will probably be using it for design and eventualy 5ax manufacturing. I dont see it replacing Mastercam for the 3-4ax stuff though.

 

Does anyone know of a forum like this one that focuses on catia apps? COE has one but it doesn't touch the help that this place has for MC users.

 

BTW is anybody here using catia? I'd really like to hear some input!!

 

Cheers. MF

I don't know anything about Catia, but this forum showed up in Google and appears to be active:

Catia is just a cad software not a cam right?

You and me both...

We just purchased a 5ax Mitsu Laser and the recomended software was Catia based 'fastrim'.

Training starts next month....

No, CATIA is a full featured CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM/FEA etc... software. It comes in modules.

Hi

We have the translaters and convert Catia 5 to MC for our 5 axis work.

Well...so far my search for Catia NC hasn't turned up a whole lot. Or maybe I'm just spoiled with this place. Thanks to all replies and for the useful links.
