Machine Works is the clear leader in this domain and all major CAM editors as well as machine-tool manufacturers work with the company.

Working with such an industry specialist as MachineWorks is also a selling point for us.

We have a very solid relationship with MachineWorks for many years now and we rely on the software's capabilities of identifying gouges, rest material and clashes.
