5 axis testimonials

[PE @ IHS]

Hello Folks

 

I realize that this question has been asked before by others, but how has your Mastercam been for simultaneous 5 axis machining of complex parts? This info is needed to encourage a local company to choose Mastercam for their new Deckel. There are local companies that I can use as references, but it would be interesting to hear the opinions users in other areas.

 

Please leave your name and company info (if possible) to ensure legitimacy.

 

I appreciate your assistance

If you would like a reference, I would be willing to vouch for Mastercam's superiority for 5 Axis. One problem though, I will not put my company name and contact info for all to see. All I need is some sales lurker to be contacting me nonstop for stuff I don't even want or need or worse yet, somebody that has a tiff on the forum because of something I sad or didn't say, no thanks. E-mail me privately and I'll give you that information if you like.

Where I currently work we use Mastercam for everything from flat gasket type parts, vacuum form tools to complex 5 axis patterns for layup of aircraft interior parts, like galleys, lavatories, windowframes, etc.... It does it all and without a hitch. I've been using MC since Version 3 and almost every day since Version 6. I wish I could post some of our work but it's a no-no. We make Passenger Seats for Aircraft. Mostly for commuter/business jets. We have 8 seats of Mastercam here in the building(s) and so far there has been nothing that we've run into that we cannot accomplish quickly and efficiently.

I have some local manufacturing plants that use the software and we run annual training sessions and they have had no complaints about it and said they where not shopping around for any other software.

Perform's very well.

We've a customer that use Mastercam for 5 axis use. They've been approached by UG. The customer asked the UG demo man to prove him that he can do more than Mastercam. He was not able. So they upgraded to V9 and get 3 days of special training on 5 axis.
