I have been using SolidCam for about a year now. I have not had any official training yet, but find the software very easy to use. The online help and videos are a great source to get started. The KevCam videos seem to cover just about everything. The Imachining has sped up our roughing ops. It is by far the best toolpaths we have gotten out of all the software we have tried. The support is outstanding. Everybody I have talked to has been very nice, knowledgeable, and knows the software inside and out. I would recommend giving SolidCam a try.
