Review on MAX-PAC by Mike Phillips

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Solid CAM software that covers many areas of manufacturing

The program allows you not only model parts but also creates tool paths with 3D shapes which are very useful when creating tools from CAD models (or even scanning). Also has great support features such as NC data import/export etc., so this would be considered an all around solid package if your looking into machining multiple geometries at once. I wish it was more user friendly especially since they seem like they're pushing towards newer technologies - however there seems little effort put behind training new employees who learn how best practices should work instead putting in tutorials online or having someone teach them over time after hours during their shift while running other jobs throughtout the day! It's worth using just because its good value compared to others out there though some people may find certain functions difficult depending upon what type(geometry)of job being done. My most recent.

Pros
  • Being able to create complex geometry for milling, boring & turning operations is fantastic along side various post processing options available within software itself that can help smooth edges without manual intervention; plus ability to do multi part modeling simultaneously through same interface makes things easy enough
Cons
  • It is hard to say
