    Hello,

    Had you ever used the SolidWorks before? if you had and Found SolidWorks can satisfy what you are now making, solidcam is a very Good Choice, if solidworks cannot satisfy what you are doing, don't think about it!

    Hope it can help you! if you need any help about solidcam, maybe i can help you, my email address is, [email protected].

    thanks

    Although it may affect the bottom line in a start up, you cant lose by going with what you already know.

    best way to work it out if you can make a drawing as easy as what you can in mastercam or faster and better its worth a shot you get the 2,5D version of HSM free with soildworks, or the other way is fusion 360 its ok and will only get better you can get fusion as a start up don`t know if you can with solidworks contact them ya never know
