WorkNC CAM CAD

Hi John
it is no secret, All depends on what you want for your bucks and how much you want to save. The price of the software is not the same as the cost of purchase

I Have seen other posts for CAM as low as $99, i have not tried these out so cannot comment on their capability.
But have also read in other forums of users who have thought that "ALL CAM IS THE SAME" only to be frustrated by failed and long calculations, or gouges on the part. Finding out that the cheapest is not always best for them.

WorkNC offers confidence and reliability,

What do you want, 2D , 2.5D, 3D or 5 axis, Wire EDM, Lathe, CAD
if you want a price contact me directly

Hi John

Sorry you will have to run that one by me ? Last time I went to Asda the price on a £1.50 box of cornflakes was the EXACT price I had to pay at the till.

Will try.
The price you purchase something for is what you actually hand over., the price of a box of cornflakes could be £150, that is not the cost
The cost of software is calculated from what it will do for you, and how much. Example.
a Cheep softeware could cost £100, The programmers hourly rate is £20 and the machine hourly rate is £30

a single job could take 4 hours to program and 6 to cut on the machine ir would cost = £80 + £180 = £260
If WorkNC being more efficient could do the same job in 2 hours to program and 3 hours to machine then it would cost £40 + £90 = £130
Therefore he cost of this part with the cheep software could be £260, or the cost of the same part with WorkNC could be £130

Which cost is better to you.

Then you calculate all the jobs you need to do in a day, week , month year and compare the cost of manufacture
I have a calculator you can download from my web page.

This sounds like one of those maths exam questions! You forgot the variable of how often you cut jobs against the initial cost of the software, and whether you are doing it for a hobby or work. Still don't know how much your software is, or is it a secret? I guess as you've not told us it's expensive!

Would not expect this to be used for hobby, the cost 4K upwards will point it towards the manufacturing sector
