software cam educational use

[iron72]

Good day to all.
I wanted to know if there is a free software or even proof that is called pro-cam 2003 to build the busy path of particular 2d and that later will be loaded on a mill of 2 axes and a half, so only to make the discount.
There's some other software that's all right.
Thank you in advance.

for me is not bad the solution proposed by alibre. This is an integrated cam program in alibre design. I have already spoken about it in the past (try in my messages). in images taken from alibre.com you can notice the realization of the tool path and its video simulation.

If the cam serves for educational use, then at a school, practically all manufacturers/distributors provide teaching licences with much lower costs than the prices charged to companies.
Usually the discounts are 50/60% or even more than normal price lists.
At that point I would say that it is better to have a serious product, with support behind it and especially aligned with market standards.

Yes, only a small detail, the question is a “free or trial” software. not all can afford inaccessible expenses for teaching, especially in this period.

by personal experience I tell you that the free cams that are around are almost always unsuitable to real production.
(perhaps the mach3 and linuxcnc are exception, but with the small detail that more than the cams are the control systems for cn machines and therefore adapt them to use as only cam is often very difficult)

if we talk about trial versions, then there are iosa, since practically every manufacturer offers its sw in trial version.
sin however that usually such versions do not allow to save the work, especially the machine blocks.

It seems obvious to me that manufacturers are cautein excluding from trial versions some functions (for example in some free cad-cam software is inhibited the print function in others can be performed a limited number of details etc.). This does not exclude that the basic functions are working, and with alibrecam can be generated the maths for several models of m.u. and in this case the execution of simple contours was asked.
