CAM Buyers Guide

What you should do before buying software from anyone:

Decide what you want the software to do for you and talk to several people who have experience with CAD/CAM. Do not buy anything until you properly understand what you need.
Shop around and see what you get for your money. Don't buy anything on impulse or in a hurry. You might be sorry!
Beware of companies that do not let you try a FULL version of their software before you buy. This means you want to deal with companies who actually let you generate posts and actually cut parts. It means they are confident in their products.
Once you have picked out a few products you are interested in, make sure to send the company/reseller emails and or make phone calls asking them questions. This is a great way to find out who is responsive and supportive. If communication before a sale is not too good, imagine what it will be like after they got your money!

Why you should consider Sprutcam for your machining needs:

Sprutcam provides complete solutions for advanced milling and turning CNC machining. There are no hidden traps like having to buy new modules for different operations.
Sprutcam is very cost effective compared to other software with the same capabilities.
With full time rendering and a visual based interfaced, most new users can program basic parts in just a couple of hours with a little bit of help. As you gain more experience and spend more time in the application there are really no limitations to what you can machine with Sprutcam. It is difficult to 'outgrow' Sprutcam.

Why you should purchase Sprutcam from RSW:

Unlike most resellers, RSW has been using Sprutcam daily in our own manufacturing facility for many years so we can actually support what we sell. Imagine that!
When you purchase Sprutcam through RSW we will help you program your first part step by step to introduce you to the program, using your own part!
RSW sells at fair prices. The markup that some resellers sell at is just plain ridiculous. Just make sure you get a quote from us before you buy! The difference can be huge.

Why you should consider Alibre CAD/CAM, and purchase from RSW.

Unless you are a large company with network CAD requirements, Alibre CAD products are simply the best for the money, period. No other product even comes close.

While Alibre can provide you with great technical support, your RSW reseller can provide you with excellent application and modeling support for tough projects and make sure you are headed in the right direction. We use this software ourselves and we know how to think 'outside the box'!
