Hello all, this is my first post here and I'm looking for some input. I have been a cnc programmer and machinist for 16 years now and have used several of the high end big name software packages, but my favorites are Unigraphics/NX/U-G and Mastercam. I recently bought a Taig cnc mill for home hobby type use and am deciding what to do for cam software. My problem is that I have a very limited budget and I'm guessing that most of the inexpensive software is going to be a disappointment for me now. What are the best alternatives out there on a low budget? Which are the most like Unigraphics or Mastercam? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
