What is the best Lathe - Millturn software, and why? Anyone on 3DEXP for lathe?

Hi Friends,

What is the best Lathe - Millturn software

What makes it good?

Anyone on 3DEXP  for lathe?   I know the Lathe has been enhanced dramatically for V6 and 3dx, but have not used it.

We jut got our first lathe.  the last time I programmed lathers was in the early 1980's with a TI-30. after 6 months, they got me Compact -II

 

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave,

There is lot to say but I will still make CATIA to do the job. Anyway what kind of lathe you got? Is it a 4axis or 5axis Mill-Turn.

Hi Samarinder,

It is a 2 axis simple lathe. And w have a Mastercam guy programming it for now.   However,  it's an interesting topic.  The licensing is very expensive on both the CATIA side and also the post side. but I would like to be prepared it if fell on my lap.
