“When looking for a CAM program for Hancock Central High School I started off using Fusion 360 but didn’t like it at all. That’s when I downloaded VisualCAD/CAM and really liked it! While at Ford Motor Company I used Surfcam exclusively. Today I find VisualCAD/CAM much easier to draw in and certainly much easier to program toolpaths in than Surfcam!”

“I really like VisualCAM’s ease of use for setting up parts for machining. It allows us to have our own custom knowledge bases and tool libraries. We use them extensively to organize and accelerate our design through manufacturing procedures.”
THE WARREN GROUP
THE WARREN GROUPLEAD DESIGNER
“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.”

“When looking for a CAM program for Hancock Central High School I started off using Fusion 360 but didn’t like it at all. That’s when I downloaded VisualCAD/CAM and really liked it! While at Ford Motor Company I used Surfcam exclusively. Today I find VisualCAD/CAM much easier to draw in and certainly much easier to program toolpaths in than Surfcam!”

Doug McIntosh, Hancock Central School
“Initially we were using a different CAM system for our 2-1/2 Axis toolpaths. Then when it came time to cut in 3 Axis, that system and their technical support was not up to the task. That was the day we purchased RhinoCAM. MecSoft Corporation provides the same quality technical support that I provide my customers and I like that!”
Marc Shlaes
“Being so “visual” in the way that RhinoCAM presents the job, is where I’ve found it very easy to learn myself. To be able to visually see your setup, stock material, and operations in relation to the part is very helpful. The ease of use and step by step approach to the user interface walks you through the process of generating toolpath.”
Greg White, Advanced Robotic Technology
“When I needed a good CAM software to go with SOLIDWORKS a colleague recommended MecSoft. Since then I’ve learned CNC from research, videos and tech support from MecSoft! I know engineers who are shocked that I was able to teach myself CNC machining! You guys have been an integral part of this project. Thank You!”
Zachary Geragi, The Giant RC B1 Lancer Bomber Project
“VisualMILL is easy to learn and easy to use! I self-taught myself how to use the program from the MecSoft training videos. I’ve also trained two apprentices to use the software and neither one of them has had any trouble learning it.”
Dr. Casey Kerrigan, Founder & President | OESH Shoes
“When I help to opened this shop I knew that we were going to use Rhino and RhinoCAM! This combination together allows us to do both design and CNC programming. One of the many things I like about RhinoCAM is the High Speed Cut patterns. I can set our Haas VF2 to rough and remove a lot of material very quickly using RhinoCAM!”
Al Grifka, CNC Manager | Conley Manufacturing
“Why do we use VisualMILL? Ease of Use is the primary reason! We don’t want our kids getting overwhelmed by the software. I’ve discussed this with instructors from a nearby school who use Mastercam and the kids there are really struggling just to use the CAM software. It takes so much time to learn new software that when you find something that both works and is easy to use, you stay with it!”
Tony Cosby, Technology Teacher | Sister’s High School
“At Calton Cases I can use any CAD/CAM software I want and I have used many. I always find myself coming back to Rhino and RhinoCAM because of the freedom it gives me to model and machine the way I want. It’s actually quite liberating!”
Anthony Pelosi, Product Designer & Innovation Lead | Calton Cases
“Once I tested RhinoCAM, it was like OK, this is what I want to use! RhinoCAM’s ease of use made learning and understanding the concepts of CAM and g-code programming much easier I think. I like how it’s integrated into Rhino. I had no previous CAD or CAM training or experience and your CAMJam self-training video archive was very helpful to me and still is.”
Julie Pedalino, Owner/Operator | Pedalino Bicycles

“VisualCAM  have been real time-savers for us! Many of our initial parts now happily end up in the recycle bin. That’s because we can design, machine, evaluate, redesign and machine again all within the same day! We now machine all of our development and prototype components in-house where design issues can be resolved quickly and economically before going to mass production.”

John Humpherys, Engineering Manager | DeLaRue Authentication Solutions
“We chose VisualCAM to run our CNC machining centers because it runs as a plugin to SOLIDWORKS and supports both indexed and continuous 2½ through 5 axis machining strategies. We also found VisualCAM to be very cost competitive with other CAM software with similar features!”
Oliver Moore, Moore Brothers Co.
“The support you guys have provided us has literally saved me from a tremendous loss of business! We took on a large amount of work at the time and because you were willing to work with us as we got up to speed with the software, we were able to get that work done on time and on budget! Thank you MecSoft!”
Dave Teeters, AirMotive Specialties, Inc.
Bernie loves RhinoCAM so much that he actually puts it as a hashtag in his social media posts! “Why do I do that? I guess it’s just that I’m the kind of a guy that says: Hey, this is what I use, I like it and it works really well!”
Bernie Solo, WorksbySolo
“I liked RhinoCAM immediately because I could make changes quickly. Changing the drawing did not mean that I had to start the whole CAM process over again. The G-Code adapted automatically. I started learning VisualMILL first and the transition to RhinoCAM was very easy.”
Preston Fiske, Owner/Operator | PolyFab Corporation
“We chose to teach Rhino 3D to our students because of its dominance in the marine industry. RhinoCAM was a natural extension of that decision and honestly I love our RhinoCAM! I like the fact that its surface based. I can do just about anything with it. Also, the articles on the MecSoft Blog have been very helpful for setting up my curriculum. Every semester I feel that MecSoft supplies more ways to access support and that is huge for me.”
Kelsey Britton, Composites Program Manager | IYRS School of Technology & Trades
“Why buy another piece of software that you will have to learn? RhinoCAM works directly within Rhino. After doing my modeling in Rhino, I don’t have to move it over to another program to do my CAM work when RhinoCAM is right there inside of Rhino.” “After my first training session I was just in awe of how much I learned in the first hour! I would highly recommend to anyone who is considering a CAM program to try RhinoCAM because of the quality of the training that MecSoft provides!”
Christopher Dungey, Christopher Dungey Cello Maker Inc.
“Because RhinoCAM works inside of Rhino. We do not need to export, import… That means if we change the project design, we can update the toolpaths in one click! Another important issue is that RhinoCAM is so intuitive. That helps a lot for students that are not familiar with CAM technology. And finally, support and feedback! Every time I need some help, the MecSoft support answers my questions very quickly!”
Prof. arq. Alffonso Orciuoli, Distribuidor Autorizado McNeel Brasil McNeel & Associates, Kirkland, Washington
“Learning RhinoCAM was not difficult which in itself was amazing. When I first loaded RhinoCAM, it already had a Centroid post-processor for my CNC router. After learning how to create a toolpath, I took the g-code over to my router and it worked great the very first time! This was after I completed an evaluation of Mastercam, uncovering many shortcomings in the software.”
Michael Wazenski, Owner/Operator | CNCFins
What was your RhinoCAM learning experience like? “There was a short learning curve to understand and learn how to apply the right toolpath for a given task. Overall however I found RhinoCAM to be quite easy to learn. Understanding materials and thicknesses was very easy to convey to my students.”
Joey Slaughter, Associate Professor | Louisiana Tech University School of Design, Ruston, LA
