2020 Cnccookbook CAM Survey Results 2020 CNCCookbook CAM Survey Results Bob Warfield Copyright 2020 by CNCCookbook, Inc. Every year, CNCCookbook surveys readers on their CAM Software. The results provide an invaluable guide to CAM for the CNC World.. Overview very year CNCCookbook surveys readers on their CAM Software. The results are a unique and Einvaluable guide to CAM for the CNC World. This year we received over 400 responses. That’s up from our last survey, which got about 300 responses. Product Managers at a variety of CADCAM companies, large and small, tell me they find the results very valuable in their own planning. There’s really no other source of information quite like these surveys, so I wanted to get these initial results out as soon as I could. We’ve done these CAM surveys in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and now 2020, so there is historical data to compare against when looking for trends. Note that the 2020 results are actually 2019, we just felt it would look funny to publish 2019 in 2020, especially given we conducted the survey at the beginning of 2020. As in the past, we divide the market into 3 segments: High-End: More expensive packages with more functionality. Tiered: Modular packages available in a range of configurations that span from the Low-End to the High-End. Low-End: These are inexpensive packages often used by Hobbyists, but as we’ll see, at least one package has come up-market to the Professional World. Let’s start by taking a look by category at market share. 2020 CNCCookbook 2 CAM Software Survey CAM Segments CAM Breakdown by Segment 8% 39% 53% High End Tiered Low End his year, High End CAM was 39% of our responses vs 47% last year. Tier-priced CAM is up from 22% to 53%. The Low End is down from 31% to 8%. T Pretty much all of those moves can be attributed to Fusion 360 in the following ways: - We moved Fusion 360 from the Low End to the Tiered segment, hence the huge growth in tiered and loss of share in Low End. - The High End continues to lose share to Fusion 360. It’s a capable product that is good enough for many CNC’ers and it costs far less than the High End packages typically charge. 2020 3 CNCCookbook CAM Software Survey CAM Market Share by Segment: High End High End CAM Market Share CNCCookbook 2020 CAM Survey Mastercam 11.4% SolidCam 3.7% Type3 3.5% NX 3.2% Camworks 3.0% Gibbscam 2.7% Edgecam 1.7% Esprit 1.5% Powermill 1.2% Alphacam 1.0% Surfcam 0.7% Hypermill 0.7% EstlCam 0.7% Delcam 0.7% PTC Pro/E 0.5% FeatureCAM 0.5% Desk Proto 0.5% WorkNC 0.2% VisiCAM 0.2% Unigraphics 0.2% Router-CIM 0.2% Partmaker 0.2% MADCam 0.2% EnRoute 0.2% Catia 0.2% 0.0% 2.0% 4.0% 6.0% 8.0% 10.0% 12.0% his year, High End CAM market share is still led led by Mastercam, which has an overall (not just high end share) share of 11.4%. Last year they had 12.3% share, so they’ve contracted a bt. T In second place we have SolidCam at 3.7%, which is a big gain from last year’s 1.8%. Last year HSMWorks / non-Fusion HSM was in second place. We re-classified it as tiered, but it would still be in 2nd otherwise. 2020 4 CNCCookbook CAM Software Survey CAM Market Share: Tiered Segment Tiered Segment CAM Market Share CNCCookbook 2020 Survey Fusion360 24.0% Aspire / Vectric) 12.8% BobCAD/CAM 5.9% HSMWorks (Non Fusion 360) 4.4% VisualMill / Mecsoft 2.7% SprutCam 1.7% OneCNC 0.5% Solidworks Cam 0.2% EZCam 0.2% 0.0% 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0% 25.0% 30.0% In this category, Fusion360 leads, with 24% overall market share. Last year, Fusion360 had 24.2% overall share, so has seemingly plateuaed. Note that it is newly added to this segment. Last year, Vectric / Aspire led this segment with 12.8% overall share so there’s no change this year. Meanwhile the Mecsoft products switched places with BobCAD again. BobCAD moved from 3.14% to 5.9% and Mecsoft moved from 1.74% to 2.7%. 2020 5 CNCCookbook CAM Software Survey CAM Market Share: Low End Low End CAM Market Share CNCCookbook 2020 Survey CamBam 2.0% SheetCam 1.2% MeshCam 1.2% Conversational (PathPilot) 0.7% DolphinCAM 0.5% ZW3D 0.2% WardCam 0.2% SwiftCam 0.2% Okuma Admac Parts 0.2% Millwrite 0.2% MakerCam 0.2% Kcam 4 0.2% JSCut 0.2% Heeks Cam 0.2% Cad Key 0.2% 0.0% 0.5% 1.0% 1.5% 2.0% 2.5% We moved Fusion 360 from the Low End Category to the Tiered Category, which allowed CamBam to move up to #1. It’s overall market share, however, declined from 2.7% to 2%. MeshCam is relatively unchanged. Lots of packages are in this category, including some that are more conversational in nature or that are more specialized. WardCam is for waterjets, for example. But overall, this category is down in size. Fusion 360 is a magnet at its price point and level of power that’s pulling people out of the low end. 2020 6 CNCCookbook CAM Software Survey Overall CAM Market Share Overall CAM Market Share CNCCookbook 2020 Survey Fusion360 24.0% Aspire / Vectric 12.8% Mastercam 11.4% BobCAD/CAM 5.9% HSMWorks (Non Fusion 360) 4.4% SolidCam 3.7% Type3 3.5% NX 3.2% Camworks 3.0% VisualMill / Mecsoft 2.7% Gibbscam 2.7% CamBam 2.0% SprutCam 1.7% Edgecam 1.7% Esprit 1.5% SheetCam 1.2% Powermill 1.2% MeshCam 1.2% Alphacam 1.0% Surfcam 0.7% Hypermill 0.7% EstlCam 0.7% Delcam 0.7% Conversational (PathPilot) 0.7% PTC Pro/E 0.5% OneCNC 0.5% FeatureCAM 0.5% DolphinCAM 0.5% Desk Proto 0.5% ZW3D 0.2% WorkNC 0.2% WardCam 0.2% VisiCAM 0.2% Unigraphics 0.2% SwiftCam 0.2% Solidworks Cam 0.2% Router-CIM 0.2% Partmaker 0.2% Okuma Admac Parts 0.2% Millwrite 0.2% MakerCam 0.2% MADCam 0.2% Kcam 4 0.2% JSCut 0.2% Heeks Cam 0.2% EZCam 0.2% EnRoute 0.2% Catia 0.2% Cad Key 0.2% 0.0% 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0% 25.0% 30.0% 2020 7 CNCCookbook CAM Software Survey CAM Market Share: CNC Routers Most Popular CAM for CNC Router Users CNCCookbook 2020 CAM Survey Aspire / Vectric 33% Fusion360 20% Type3 13% CamBam 4% SolidCam 3% VisualMill / Mecsoft 3% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% This year we’re adding the market shares for CNC Router users. CNC Routers are often used quite differently than CNC Mills. In particular, they do a lot more artistic work such as signs and corporate logos. It’s not surprising, therefore, that the Aspire / Vectric software dominates this segment. 2020 8 CNCCookbook CAM Software Survey Overall Share Analysis Looking at overall share for 2020, we can see just how much Fusion360, Aspire/Vectric, and Mastercam dominate the CAM world. Here are the highlights: - While still at the top, Fusion360 hasn’t grown overall share by much and neither has Aspire/Vectric. - MasterCam is down slightly from 12.3% to 11.4%. It’s the legacy standard, but others are regarded as more leading edge or easier to use. - HSMWorks, the non-Fusion 360 alternative with the same CAM engine is down hard from 9.6% to 4.4%. That’s interesting and makes me wonder if Fusion 360 isn’t cannibalizing some sales there, though it hasn’t increased its share in the process. - As mentioned Solidcam is up from 1.8% to 3.7%, NX is up from 1.8% to 3.2%, and Esprit is up from 0.9% to 1.5%. - Powermill, a former customer satisfaction winner in these surveys, is down from 3.7% to 1.2%. - In general, low share players keep getting whittled away while higher share players are growing. This suggests the market wants to consolidate at some point. 2020 9 CNCCookbook CAM Software Survey Customer Satisfaction Awards NX took top honors in the Customer Satisfaction area with a score of 1.79. This showed phenomenal improvement from the 2018 scores. Congratulations, Siemens! 2020 10 CNCCookbook CAM Software Survey Silver Awards SprutCAM took Silver with a score of 1.57. It was just ahead of CamBam, which had a 1.50 score. 2020 11 CNCCookbook CAM Software Survey Satisfaction Scores Here’s the big chart of all customer satisfaction scores. Note that we only include packages below that had at least 5 responses.

  • Issues Related to the Use of Sprutcam in Wood Processing
    Annals of the University of Oradea, Fascicle: Environmental Protection Vol. XXXI, 2018 Analele Universităţii din Oradea, Fascicula: Protecţia Mediului Vol. XXXI, 2018 ISSUES RELATED TO THE USE OF SPRUTCAM IN WOOD PROCESSING Derecichei Laura*, Lucaci Codruţa*, Cheregi Gabriel* *University of Oradea, Faculty of Environmental Protection, 26 Gen. Magheru St., 410048 Oradea, Romania Abstract Computer-assisted use is a step forward in designing technically and economically competitive technological processes in the wood industry. Preparing CNC machining programs for parts with three-dimensional complex surfaces would be extremely difficult without the techniques mentioned above. CAD / CAM products offer the possibility to develop processing programs for existing equipment on the market. These software packages allow, in addition to generate the tool center trajectory, a complex simulation of the machining process in which the movements of the machine elements required in the manufacturing process can be traced. An important branch of CAM methods is numerical control. This is a technique whereby the operations of a machine can be controlled by means of a program's instructions: cutting, milling, drilling, various surfaces of the blank can be carried out in such a way that at the end of the program the piece desired. The simulation of the CNC 5-axis machining operation was carried out with the SPRUTCam program, which was obtained from the "Hermann Oberth" Engineering Faculty of Sibiu in the Department of Machinery and Industrial Equipment. Key words: SPRUTCAM, CAD-CAM ,CNC,. wood INTRODUCTION Steps to get the NC code into SPRUTCAM Processing a complex wood piece on a CNC machine involves generating a CN code that contains, in a numerically coded form, the commands for moving the machine and / or tool trays on the trajectories required to obtain the shape of the finished part.(Ganea, M., 2010, Ganea, M., 2010, Ganea, M., 2000, Jain, A.

The idea on fabrication of low cost CNC Router came forward to reduce the cost and complexity in CNC systems. This paper discusses the development of a low cost CNC router which is capable of 3-axis simultaneous interpolated operation. The lower cost is achieved by incorporating the features of a standard PC interface with micro-controller based CNC system in an Arduino based embedded system. The system also features an offline G-Code parser and then interpreted on the micro- controller from a USB. Improved procedures are employed in the system to reduce the computational overheads in controlling a 3-axis CNC machine, while avoiding any loss in overall system performance. I. INTRODUCTION: In modern CNC systems, end-to-end component design is highly automated using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programs. The programs produce a computer file that is interpreted to extract the commands needed to operate a particular machine via a post processor, and then loaded into the CNC machines for production.

    Percursos de maquinagem 2D: mesa CNC e robô industrial Luís Carlos Santos Oliveira Dissertação do MIEM Orientador: Manuel Romano dos Santos Pinto Barbosa Coorientador: Paulo Augusto Ferreira de Abreu Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Mecânica Especialização de Automação Junho de 2018 ii Percursos de maquinagem 2D: mesa CNC e robô industrial À minha família iii iv Percursos de maquinagem 2D: mesa CNC e robô industrial Resumo A globalização é responsável por diversas modificações no mundo, destacando-se o avanço tecnológico acelerado e consequentemente uma intensa robotização na produção industrial. No caso particular da maquinagem, a utilização de robôs industriais é também uma área em crescimento. A sua grande flexibilidade e relação custo/benefício torna-os uma solução complementar a máquinas CNC, que têm um espaço de trabalho limitado e custo elevado. No entanto, são ainda muitas as barreiras a ultrapassar para que os robôs assumam um papel preponderante na execução de operações de maquinagem, dado que apresentam baixa exatidão e rigidez e, ainda, limitação de software específico. Ao longo deste trabalho é realizada uma análise comparativa de parâmetros e funções de programação, disponíveis em dois sistemas distintos: mesa XY comandada por CNC e robô industrial. Um dos objetivos principais é identificar as implicações da utilização destas funções na execução de percursos de maquinagem, do tipo fresagem e respetivas velocidades de avanço. Igualmente pretende-se também avaliar a facilidade e eficiência da programação em cada sistema. A mesa XY é comandada por um CNC Fagor® 8055M e o robô industrial é um robô ABB® IRB2400, usando apenas como ferramenta um dipositivo para traçar os percursos (caneta) numa folha de papel.
