Hi all, I've been using Mcam since it was Dos based and so far I have been able to machine everything the engineers have thrown at me. Went to read some of the posts and I noticed a thread about the virtues of one cad/cam system vs Mcam. While I was tempted to get into the mix, I declined because of what I felt were strong egos and biased opinions. I hope people realize that Mastercam is called masterCAM and is not a one button solution for all combined engineering and machining activites. I have used several other systems over the years and have found Mcam to be a "manual camera" instead of an "auto focus" camera. I prefer the large amount of tweakability in the system to be a great asset to the realization (I assume) of manufacturing's commom goal: to manufacture.

I am a self taught machinist and have been using MC since version 6. I teach machine tool technology part time and program CNC wire EDM (Fanuc, Brother, and mitsubishi) full time. The EDM application is relatively new to me and I have been trying to work the bugs out of 8.1 wire. Hopefully this forum will help.

Hi everyone, been lurking this forum for a while now, never really have time to contribute much. New resolution - Start Contributing!

I'm 26 years old and work for a independant machine shop that manufactures tire molds for the rubber industry. Our customers include all the "biggies" Goodyear, Bridgestone/Firestone, Cooper, Pirelli, Continental/General, etc..... We use 2.5,3,4, and 5 axis milling to machine the various parts of the mold assemblies. We just purchased a Hermle C800U for our simultaneous 5Axis work and are using NCCS's NCL software for that - Not MCAM - needed more "power". I still love my Mastercam for 85% of what I do.

I first began using Mcam Ver5.0 while attending Ohio University in 1993. I started interning where I currently work in 1994 running a Sunstrand OmniMill 5Axis machine putting lettering in the sidewalls of the tiremolds in the summer. When I graduated from OU in 1997, I continued working full-time and chose MCAM as my lifeblood. Been using it everyday for almost five years now and we've made some interesting stuff with it.

Glad to be a part of the forum!

Hello Everyone, I live and work in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. I am one of two cnc programmers for a local furniture manufacture. We left NC Polaris and went to Mastercam V6 several years ago and have been using Mastercam ever since, we are currently running V8. We have eleven cnc machines running 24/5 and are currently negotiating our first 5 axis. I will be the one who post more questions than answers.

[toolman321]

Greetings from Wisconsin. I work as a toolmaker for the eighth largest injection molding company in the U.S., based in Germantown, WI. (#81 of Wisconsin's top 100 companies). Or is it #82?

I have found Mastercam to be useful for less complicated work. I look forward to exchanging info here. CNC Software has had a BBS for years, but it contained little in the way of useful information.
