Testimonials
MecSoft’s products are the # 1 choice for our customers in over 30 countries
“First off I just want to say that using RhinoCAM is a pleasure. We have been using Rhino for the past 7 or 8 years with MasterCAM to generate the code for our Techno machine. This transition to RhinoCAM for the most part it is all smiles. I love your product, for the most part I am working with sloppy student files so having the ease of editing the geometry while writing the tool paths is just fantastic. Learning this software has been really fun too, I am constantly impressed.”
—- Ryan McKibbin, Catholic University of America, MI, United States
“I’d like to take this opportunity to say what a great plug-in RhinoCAM is. It’s a massive leap forwards for our business.”
—- Jason Winder, Dovetailors Ltd, United Kingdom
“Thank you very much for the information. Your explanation of the difference between Voxel and Polygonal modeling made me glad I purchased the 4 Axis version of the S/W. I like to be precise and see exactly what the program is doing. It helps me visualize the end results.”
—- Carl Hill, Ginacr Enterprises, WA, United States
“You did it!!! This has fixed the problem! Thank you so very much for your patience. I know I am probably notorious with your group, but please know that you are very much appreciated. I was starting basically from scratch with Alibre CAM. Between the on-line tutorials and the support your team has given, we can now successfully implement the new program. Thanks again for your support of the success of our company!”
—- April L. Fort, Versa Tech, MO, United States
“Thanks for the excellent demo! I really appreciate your help and clarity on milling out undercuts. I also wanted to let you know that I really appreciate all the help you have given me and our company over the years. I don’t know another tech support or training person at any other company that knows their product better then you.”
—- Thomas Buck, Product Development Inc, TN, USA
“If you ever conduct a webinar for advanced features of VisualMILL, we are highly interested in enrolling. Just for reference, your support together with excelled features of VisualMILL has allowed us to like our machine and realize projects which was difficult to achieve before. Thanks in advance.”

“Our company had purchased a seat of *competitor product* some time back. Two weeks ago, I spent nearly 4 days trying to program one fairly simple part that I wanted to machine on our Fadal VMC. Not being a full time programmer/machinist, I always had problems with the CAD portion of *competitor product*. Only using the program every once in a while, every new crash was a learning experience of what command I did at the wrong time. Worse than the waste of time spent with software crashes, is the incessant *competitor* sales people who never leave you alone once they have your phone number. One can only take so much frustration. So I got online and checked out the available programs that would make more sense for our company. After talking to 2 people at MecSoft and trying the demo, I was sold. Within 4 hours of use, I felt like I had a pretty good understanding of VisuaIMill. Right after I registered the software, I got a follow up call from support who helped me through one simple issue – which was simply a lack of understanding on my part. I have had a couple of other questions on the posting, but the technical support via email has only been a few short minutes in coming. First finished post out of VisualMILL the part ran in our VMC. When our budget allows, we would like to upgrade to the Pro Version. What a great value in CNC Machining software! Best of success to MecSoft.”

“I just wanted to take a moment to say how pleased I was with the training. I was very impressed with how knowledgable, and patient my trainer was to answer all of my questions. He was very good at communicating what I needed to do and showing me all the buttons/uses as we went. If it is possible to make a comment on his behalf to who-ever is his supervisor I would like to. Thanks again.”
—- Daniel Miller, Columbus Highschool, MT, USA
“I am a high school drafting and metal shop teacher. Over the years I have used just about every brand of CAD software including all the big names. I have found them all difficult to use, especially to tool any type of tool path for my CNC Milling Machine, CNC router, CNC plasma table and CNC vinyl sign cutting machine. Our school decided to give Rhinocam a try and I have to say that I will never recommend any other product except RhinoCAM. The software is easy to learn and has all the features you could want. The best thing Rhinocam has going for it is its customer service; the fact that if I am trying something new I can call in to get technical support is next to no one. They help you on the phone and walk you through the process’s you need to do. Also MecSoft is the only company I have dealt with that calls YOU back at a specific time you decide for help and actually makes good on it. Without a doubt I would recommend Rhinocam to anyone without question or hesitation. I will never switch to another product. Ever.”
—- Kevin McGhee, Port Hardy, BC, Canada
“I am writing to let you know how much I personally appreciate all of you, especially support. To understand the depth of this appreciation, you need to know that I am 73 years old, and starting a new business that is thriving. I purchased a new CNC machine which had different parameters than I expected. Not only did MecSoft teach me the use of the programs, but helped me modify them for functionality of the CNC machine I had purchased. Not once during this learning experience did I feel that I was a “lead weight” or ignorant. Thanks for the program and the learning.”
—- Ray Runyan, Kiowa Legacies, CO, USA
“I am a true believer in your product and do recommend it anytime I can. The best is truly yet to come, and I do appreciate the great product and great support.”
—- Rob Forney, Forney Designs, TN, USA
“I just wanted to take the time to say I made the right choice when purchasing VisualCam/Mill/Art. For many reasons but to mention a few is that the software I purchased is just exactly what I needed for a low cost. And not to mention the support is excellent. Thank you for everything and keep up the great work.”
—- Mike Boyd Raska, Owner, IA, USA
“In over twenty years of running a business, I can say with certainty, that Mecsoft is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with. I have been using their product for several years now, and its’ simplicity, intuitiveness, and ease of use is remarkable. That by itself is plenty for which Mecsoft should be proud to put it’s name on. Add to that the product’s reasonable pricing structure and they have a winner. However, it doesn’t end there! I truly believe that their biggest asset is the support of their product. They are always a phone call or e-mail away. The whole staff is always happy to help solve any problems or questions I have. Whether it is a technical questions or an explanation of a feature, they are always happy to help. In short, they have created a fantastic product which keeps getting better at every release, and they truly believe in their product by standing behind it. To that end, they have always supported me anytime at no charge. They can afford to do this because they know they build a solid product, and that building a solid relationship with your customer is how you keep them. This is a formula for long-term growth and success.I am happy and proud to be part of it as a customer of theirs. I am looking forward to their next release!”
—- Ken Schneider, Schneider Sales and Marketing, CA, USA
“I would like to say out of all the software & hardware companies I’ve had to deal with, everyone there at Mecsoft has been extremely helpful and respond very fast! I’m so happy we chose you guys and your software – RhinoCAM 2.0 for our CAM needs.”
—- Ryan Mull, Project Manager, Storyland Studios, CA, USA
“VisualMill [VisualCAM] gives me the capabilities that more expensive programs only promise. I can easily change parameters to drive ‘what-if’ scenarios and quickly move from idea to invoice. MecSoft is my secret weapon.”
—- Ron Graczyk, Engineer, Owner: 3SPLabs Company, Austin, TX
RhinoCam 2 is very very very stable. Compared to other tools it’s one of the most reliable tools in my workshop right now…
—- Rainer M. Schmidt, Complex Consulting LLC
RhinoCAM : On the demo it took me less than 5 minutes to build both roughing and finishing operations on a solid ( which worked beautifully in the simulation). I was never able to generate the equivalent using Bob-Cad cam ( the competitor product ) despite having spent hours at it on the same model.
—- Alan Andrea, A.T. Andrea Metal Fabrication & Engineering, NJ, USA
“.. based on what I saw in the user community and knowing that VisualMILL has an excellent reputation, I recommend you see for yourself by registering for and downloading the RhinoCAM demo from the links in today’s Pick of the Week write-up. If you’re not ready for that, there are also a bunch of links to demos, case studies, testimonials, and so forth. RhinoCAM seems like a hot one. The price is right. So check it out.”
—- Anthony J. Lockwood, Editor at Large, when selecting RhinoCAM as DE’s Pick of the Week, Desktop Engineering Magazine
Your software is great and fun to use, but your technical support is invaluable. Every time I have called for help, you have answered my questions 100%. Your knowledge of the software is unbelievable and its very comforting to know your there for support.
—- Mark McKim, McKim Design & Fabrication, TX, USA
I have very much been enjoying the use of my standalone version of Visual Mill Pro. I had a tough time choosing a CAM software, but have been completely satisfied with my choice to go with MecSoft. I really like having the users forum and I feel MecSoft really listens to their customers.
—- Greg Pettit, DYSIM Inc., VA, USA
After a few different cad/cam programs yours is by far the most intuitive and versatile. Sometimes I will fire the program up just to draw something because it is fun! I only mention this because I have complained about a few simple things and want excellence to be recognized. Thanks for your wonderful tech support and software.
—- Yuri Reiter, Metalmorphic, http://www.MetalmorphicFab.com
By the way, MecSoft is the best software vendor I have ever dealt with. Thanks.
—- Bill Laupan, Laupan Technical Services, Freezing Cold Madison, WI, USA
I did a lot of looking at CAM software before I purchased VisualMill. I wanted advanced features without a steep learning curve and a reliable package at a price I could afford. I am so glad I decided on your product. The learning curve was not steep and it didn’t take but a few sessions working with it and I had reliable and accurate tool paths. The price was a fraction of the other packages – so – what more could a small shop ask for? Support maybe – well – you people are tops in that area as well. Thanks for the great work. We are going to try to make all of your hard work – work for us as well.
—- Roger Partipilo, C&R Enterprises, parti@uci.net USA
I’ve worked in the software industry for over 15 years and have never seen any commercial software manufacturer. let alone one that targets industrial applications, take a specific customer problem, come up with a solution and integrate it into their product in less than 3 days – on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks for your support.
—- J. Rouque, USA
VisualMill 3-D machining software filled a great need at the time of our purchase in May of 2003. Never before having done any 3-D milling, WE NEEDED SOFTWARE. After reviewing a few of the larger software companies, we looked at Mecsoft’s VisualMill, and since then have never looked back. The ease of use and implementation of VisualMill and the machining it’s capable of, has far exceeded our expectations, especially considering the cost savings of the software compared to the “big” software companies. Thanks Mecsoft!!
—- Andy Gecowets, Product Mgr., Advanced Machine & Tool, agecowets@amt-corp.com USA
I really do love this software!! I have watched it earn its keep a thousand fold. To be honest I never in my wildest dreams thought I would own a cam software for $4000 that has the power that Visualmill has. When we talk cam software we talk 10 to 40 thousand dollars to have functionality. If you would have told me about VisualMill two years ago I would have told you to take a short walk off a long bridge. Having discovered the software on my own, trying the demo, buying, put to steel, seeing is amazing. Visualmill is really in a class of its own right now. Nobody can touch what they offer. The price to performance is just on the other side of the galaxy. I really don’t know how they do it. Just wait for the re-machine stuff to happen, forget about it!! Hands down Mecsoft Visualmill!!
—- Greg Maryon, obwan425@aol.com, USA
I’ve been using VisualMill for about 3 months now so am still new to all of its capabilities. The software is great especially for 3D toolpaths but the really great thing is the support. I’ve got myself into a few situations that MecSoft technical support was absolutely brilliant getting me through and didn’t make me feel pressured or incompetent. Without this kind of support I’d be lost.
Thanks MecSoft and thanks Kalyan Mavuleti!!!
—- Tom Fantaccione, thewoodshopinc@aol.com, USA
After only a few minutes into the first VisualMill demo, we recognized and were inspired by the fact that VisualMill would change the way we work thereby eliminating most of our programming problems. In fact, our old problems would be replaced with an entirely new and larger set of challenges. VisualMill will enable us to do jobs we would otherwise have to subcontract. On the first day, the team was generating good CNC code or “toolpaths”, and on the second day the team was machining actual parts.
—- Dan Satula, Ensign Bickford Company , CT, USA
Are you sure there is not a zero missing at the end of the price for this product?
— Juyenichi Ueno, CDI Corporation, Japan
VisualMill offers even the novice user to create toolpaths in a very short time, and with use difficult jobs become much easier. With an extensive array of machining operations to choose from, 3D machining in VisualMill is relatively quite simple yet extremely powerful. It is laid out with intelligence in mind, not bogging down the user with useless items on the screen. Great job at MecSoft.
—- Fidel Esquivel, Velocity Molds, CA, USA
I’m still often surprised when CADCAM dealers call to try to sell me their wares, and they say they haven’t heard of Rhino or VisualMill! Is it because their relatively lower prices make people not take them seriously? VisualMill lets you machine the complex shapes you design in Rhino accurately and completely. If you just need approximate shapes, the much cheaper stl programs are good, but if you need to follow curves (and straight lines), and make your cutter go efficiently the way you want it to in
specific areas, you need a program like VisualMill. Very easy to learn, quite reliable, great support. Lots of machining strategies available.
—- Dave Nugent, dnugent1@verizon.net , USA
… my congratulations for the Excellent Interface. Its really intuitive and easy to use. Another important feature is the simulation of material remove.
—- Luis Almeida, Portugal
We have been using VisualMill since a few years now and I can say that it’s way of integrating with Rhino is just perfect. There is an impressive amount of cutting strategies and the ability of importing curves from Rhino so to machine a limited area will save you twice the time: once because you will only machine a specific area, twice because you don’t need to generate again the area boundary manually. I also like how small details have been taken care of. As an example you can interact (rotate) the model in VisualMill just like you would do in Rhino with the right mouse botton…or pan it in the same way.
It’s a productive tool and we are happy with it.
—- Gioielleria Massoni, Roma, Italy
Something else I forgot …to tell you again what a wonderful program Visual Mill is. I can’t imagine doing what I am without it. The other programs I have used don’t even come close to the versatility, speed and
functions.
—- Michael Heiden, mheiden@uniserve.com Canada
…my impressions of VisualMill:
1) Clean, well-designed and well-organized menu structure.
2) Impressive graphics, especially in the simulation.
3) Above average calculation speed, both for toolpath, and for simulation.
4) Easily understandable icons. Well designed and implemented icons, not cryptic at all.
