Best CAM plugin for Solidworks
I use Solidworks for designing plastic moulds, and I'm going to learn a CAM software because our company is buying new CNC mills and I want participate in that work.
I've heard many opinions about Mastercam and HSMWORKS and SolidCAM and SolidworksCAM, but which is the best in terms of productivity and working well inside Solidworks?
Thank you for any help you can offer

It was to this question that I answered for myself a month ago when I had to choose a machining software. I think Solidworks Cam is based on the same approach as the software itself. And I hope it will remain important for the developers of Solidworks. If one day this complement disappears I imagine that it would be quite easy to make the transition with Mastercam or Solidcam which are both compatible with Solidworks. This is why I chose to learn machining with Solidworks Cam for a month and I am not disappointed. Even if I know that Mastercam is more complete, the Solidworks Cam Pro version includes the 4 axes and the 5 axes which is ultimately a kind of guarantee.
