Within 2 weeks he called to get a 2nd SolidCAM demo - I said how about now. He was also not impressed at all with the CAMWorks reseller! He was impressed - CAMWorks was not doing what he wanted and he also needed advanced machining (5 axes). Little did I know, he researched all weekend, sent me emails with questions, and visited our website. I waited a few months and called back just to check-in, as we talked more & more, he agreed to see a demo of SolidCAM and to compare it to his current CAM. I told him about SolidCAM and its advantages, but he turned me down. He mentioned it was CAMWorks, integrated into Solidworks. I called onto a potential customer back in Feb 2021 and he said he just bought CAM software 1 year prior, and he is not interested.

Very user-friendly and intuitive SolidCAM user interface.Our robust, easily customizable post-processors for different customers’ needs are far superior to CAMWorks posts.Our new tool table is far more advanced than the CAMworks one.O ur SolidCAM simulation capabilities, mainly the Machine simulation, are far superior to CAMWorks.SolidCAM Swiss-type machining is the best in the world, and CAMworks have very weak solution for Swiss.SolidCAM is completely superior to CAMWorks in Multi-Channel Mill-Turn machining, with the best multi-channel synchronization and simulation.See this presentation on iMachining vs so-called competitors:

T hat takes away the guesswork in setting the cutting conditions - a major advantage to all machinists - the more experienced and the less experienced. Also, iMachining has the amazing iMachining Wizard that automatically calculates optimal feeds and speeds, for every point of the toolpath, taking into account the stock material properties, cutting tool type, and machine tool parameters.
