Alibre Workshop/Meshcam pro

[Ian McVickersParticipant @ianmcvickers56553]

Still having login issues with this site….

Anyway does anyone use Alibre Workshop or Meshcam pro? I was wondering if there are any real differences between the standalone version or the one included in Workshop. I have asked Mintronics but didnt get a reply. Both are similar prices and was looking for any information to help decide. This will be used to feed USBCNC controller when I eventually finish converting a small mill to CNC.

The MeshCAM Pro price for Alibre customers is attractive compared to the standalone price.

Alibre and resellers can only sell MeshCAM Pro

• As part of the ‘Workshop’ (Atom3D + MeshCAM Pro) package
• To those who already have an Alibre licence of some kind

The version included in the Workshop bundle is exactly MeshCAM Pro – there are extensive training videos on the Alibre web site  https://www.alibre.com/workshop-cam-training/

I have not used it ‘in anger’ but do have it installed so can perhaps answer basic questions.

I note that Mintronics don’t show an add-on price for those who already have an atom, pro or expert licences.

Just ask Mintronics.  The main focus of the Alibre/MeshCAM deal is the Workshop bundle – the other sales are possible, but are not promoted.
