Our review
Pros	Supports 2D–5-axis milling, turning, mill-turn and Swiss-turn workflows Machine and ISO-code simulation includes material removal and collision management Customizable post-processors, reusable routines and TopSolid'API automation	Generates CNC and robotic toolpaths, with robot kinematic analysis. Simulates machine-aware workflows and verifies G-code for collisions and reach limits. Imports a broad range of CAD formats, including STEP, IGES, and SolidWorks.
Cons	Runs as a Windows desktop application rather than a broader deployment model License pricing requires a quote or reseller discussion Support channels are centered on documentation	Runs as a Windows desktop application, not across listed platforms. No free plan; paid access is subscription or perpetual licensing. Perpetual licenses are non-transferable, and updates require annual maintenance.
Our verdict	TopSolid'Cam is a Windows CAD/CAM application from TOPSOLID SAS for manufacturing companies that program CNC work across milling and turning. Its scope covers 2D, 3D, 4-axis and 5-axis milling alongside turning, mill-turn and Swiss-turn… Read the review →	SprutCAM X combines CAD/CAM preparation with offline programming for CNC machines and industrial robots.
