Frequently Asked Questions

SURFCAM is ideal for small workshops, job shops doing general machining, and shops new to CAM programming. If your work is primarily 2D/2.5D milling, turning, and basic 3D surface work, SURFCAM provides everything you need without unnecessary complexity.

SURFCAM is the entry-level option — simpler, more affordable, and faster to learn. EDGECAM is more powerful with 5-axis support, mill-turn, and wire EDM. If you're starting with CAM or doing straightforward 2D/3D work, SURFCAM is the right choice. As your needs grow, you can upgrade to EDGECAM.

SURFCAM focuses on 2D, 2.5D, and 3-axis milling plus 2-axis turning. For 5-axis work, we recommend EDGECAM or WORKNC. SURFCAM is designed to do the fundamentals exceptionally well.

SURFCAM is one of the most affordable professional CAM solutions. Pricing depends on the modules you need. Contact us for India-specific pricing — we provide quotes within 48 hours.

Yes. SURFCAM imports SOLIDWORKS files along with STEP, IGES, DXF/DWG, Parasolid, and other major CAD formats.

Yes. Cadspro provides SURFCAM training at our Bangalore training center and on-site at your facility. Given SURFCAM's ease of use, most operators complete training in just a few days.
