RE: what CAD/CAM packages do you use?
We, in MLM (Maribor, Slovenia) used Pro/Engineer 2001 for seven years for making mould tools for aluminium (car industry) and brass parts (MLM Armal). We make almoust complete assemlies, drawing and CAM for this tools. In my point of view this is the best software, even better than Catia v5, Ideas or Solidworks. It's complicated in beginning, but it pays of later, when gaining expiriences. Full parametric features are very handy, but in few cases this can be a problem. Problem is also with bad importet geometry (very bad IGES), which has very low accuracy. This can make problems with moulding. CAM is that field, on which PTC must still work on. But all in one, I could recomend this software package for CAD/CAM. We shortend our construction and manufacturing time at least 5 times.
For further information you can contact me on:

Cheef of construction,
