What Our Clients Say
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
