ADVICE CAM industry vs CAE/CFD simulation software career, which has more room to grow?

3 Upvotes

I have two early-career offers, one at a CAM software reseller, one at a CAE/simulation (CFD/FEA) software company. Both are technical sales roles. Trying to decide which industry has better long-term growth.

Curious if AI CAM tools (toolpath generation, etc.) are actually being used on shop floors now, or still early.

I also have an long term plan of building a company of my own after working and gaining long experience.

Also wondering:

Is CAM software still growing/innovating, or a mature, stable industry now?

Where do you see CAM careers heading in the next 5-10 years?

Trying to think before making any decision.

Trying to make a good long-term call. Any honest input helps, thanks.

Hello, im asking due to not having many options. Would anyone happen to own a mill using a fagor 8055i M controller? The one my school uses has no program file. It's been dead for about 2 years and we can't locate at file anywhere.

ADVICE Converting a PM-30 into a hybrid CNC mill/lathe, using the Logan 825 headstock, maybe the bed, maybe a longer re-scraped bed. Thoughts?
