The integration of MachineWorks in Esprit is easily the best Ive 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 Ive 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. Thats all you need to do! Lets compare this to what Mastercam makes you go through: Mastercam doesnt 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."

That's because the Jon Banquer blog is the world leader when it comes to original content for a CAM- centric blog! http://jonbanquer.wordpress.com/dp-technology-esprit-vs-mastercam-x4/ Note, this page will be receiving continuous heavy updating in the coming weeks and months. If you're not reading the Jon Banquer blog you can be sure of one thing... your competition is! ;>)

When you've had enough bullshit, spin, etc. suggest you check out the Jon Banquer blog and find out why Mastercam fails miserably at doing practical / real world multiple part simulation. New screen shots added this morning show how easy it is to setup a tombstone and solid cut part verify multiple parts in DP Technology Esprit with none of the limitations that Mastercam has: http://jonbanquer.wordpress.com/dp-technology-esprit-vs-mastercam-x4/ "Mastercam requires you to join all your individual .STL parts so they make up one connected piece. Mastercam wont simulate separate .STL files all at once. DP Esprit has no such ridiculous limitation. Simulating a tombstone with many different parts on it is easy in DP Technology Esprit. Its a exercise in frustration in Mastercam and isnt practical by any stretch of the imagination." You can only find this kind of information on the Jon Banquer blog.
