Re: Best CAM software

If you're willing to switch to Inventor, you can get Inventor HSM Professional for free if you're a school, student, or educator. Long story short, it does just about everything. Also, since Autodesk owns HSM now, you'll probably get updates sooner in Inventor than you will in SolidWorks.

HSMWorks, HSM Express, Fusion 360, etc all use the same CAM kernel and roughly the same user interface. It's a harmony we call Autodesk CAM.
