Esprit has it all over Mastercam X4 in this area. The integration of
MachineWorks in Esprit is easily the best I’ve ever seen in a CADCAM
system. Here is a specific example of what I mean when I say that the
integration of MachineWorks in Esprit is easily the best I’ve ever
seen in a CADCAM system. Lets say you wish to accurately simulate a
part that needs 4 vices operations to be complete. Esprit allows you
to save what they call a .SIM file. This .SIM file will automatically
be placed relative to an Active Work Plane that you establish for your
second operation so if you need the part flipped over for your second
operation you set up your Active Work Plane for the second vise to be
flipped over. That’s all you need to do! Lets compare this to what
Mastercam makes you go through: Mastercam doesn’t have anything like
an .SIM file. You have to use STL Transform to manually move your
saved cut part STL file from your first operation and then manually
save it in the position you need it to be in for your second
operation. Moving, rotating and placing STL files in Mastercam is an
arduous process at best. The latter process is so impractical and so
labor intensive in Mastercam that no one has the time to do accurate /
real cut part simulation in Mastercam that shows what actually is
happening on the machine when it comes to something like a multi-vise
setup."
The Jon Banquer blog has yet another exclusive that you simply won't
find anywhere else on the internet, because literally nobody else on
earth is insane enough to rant and rave about software products they
don't own, don't use, and don't understand. That's why the Jon Banquer
blog is the world leader in comedic content created by sociopaths!

Note, this page will be receiving one or two updates in the coming
weeks and months as Esprit posts more press releases on their website!
If you're not reading the Jon Banquer blog you're missing a painful
display of humiliating uninformed garbage spewed from the keyboard of
a nomadic nitwit with a shockingly full closet of skeletons.
