Can MazaCAM take in CAD files from other systems, such as Pro-Engineer, Unigraphics, AutoCAD, Solid Works and Catia?
Many companies that use MazaCAM run into situations where they work with an Engineering Department, or have customers that use other systems such as Pro-E. Without MazaCAM you need to get a drawing and program the part on the control, but MazaCAM is capable of directly importing IGES and DXF files, output by virtually any other system. So in this case, instead of programming the part of a drawing, a CAD file can be imported into MazaCAM and all that needs to be done is assign the cutter information, and one can go straight to either Mazatrol or G-code. The amount of time and money saved, by this simple technique alone, more than justifies the cost of MazaCAM.
