Re: Best CAM software

For my internship this summer we will be using Solidworks and MasterCAM, which seems like a pretty industry-standard CAD/CAM pair that works really well. However, I am not familiar with the cost or if you could get sponsored software from MasterCAM. I have also had experience using Creo (I took a college-level class in it), and their CAM package (it's actually built into the Creo CAD software), from my experience, is decent and fairly intuitive, plus I'm pretty sure Creo is free to teams. I'm sure there are many other worthy options as well, I wish I could be more helpful.
