Pro E used to have a version of Wildfire that ran in Linux.I dont know if Pro NC will run in Linux,but if so,I think you could get both packages for about then same 10k you are gonna spend on Mastercam.Id look at Visual mill at 5k complete.Good luck!!! I was very impressed with Visual Mill for the money,and I have several friends that love Gibbs and Featurecam.Your work will dictate your needs.Vector is a great lowbuck package,but has its limitations.My experinece with solid models is they are not as easy to work with as the cam salesman will lead you to beleive,just a word of advice.I have tried to cut both solidworks and step files in Mastercam and had poor results,I resaved the files as iges,and saw sucess.Īs for the post,most posts are tweek able,a generic Fanuc post should get you going.Some systems have post generators which can be used to write a new post from scratch,its a learning curve,but its about the only way you are really going to get exactly what you want.Actually,if you dont plan on using sub routines,a Fanuc post should work fine with EMC. For what it is worth,there are betterr Cam programs out there for the money then Mastercam.If your goal is to generate code directly from a solid model.then you would be better off with a system that runs in Inventor itself.It seems like Hypermill does.if you have access to Solidworks,you can import your Inventor model and use any of the several cam systems that run in side Solidworks.Camworks comes to mind,it is very powerfull and about the same cost as mastercam.
