Hello guys!
Is there anyway for me to test exocad for some time, like a trial version?

Does anyone have a rough idea of the cost for a demo dongle? I'm sure that it probably varies from one reseller to another, but just a ballpark would be great.Yes, you can contact one of the resellers in your region and buy a demo dongle.
$300 or less.
Resellers have markup. I got mine for $100100 Euro cutthroat in US ? surviving pirates ??
I have a demo dongle sitting in the drawer right now . I will sell it cheap as I don't need it any more but I don't know how it works with the resellers ? ( they may have to install it ) "Then again, looking at my avatar ,I wouldn't by one from me " lol
Would love to hear your opinions once you've had more time with it Bob! Thinking about getting one for myself, but since you've already bitten the bullet, I'd like to know what functionality is missing to see if it's worth it.I tried to get a demo dongle and Exocad would do nothing for me. Same for resellers. I ended up purchasing it. Would love to provide info but too soon to tell. Have only had it for a week or two, very limited usage thus far.

There are also sample cases in the database to try the various modules.Here is my experience with the demo dongle:
- Exocad offers a demo dongle through resellers.
- The cost of the dongle is a deposit that is refunded after the dongle is returned.
- Exocad does not make the dongle, it is a product they purchase from a software licensing company that makes dongles. Exocad must buy the dongle from that company.
- The demo dongle is not an area of profit for Exocad or their resellers, they are just covering the cost of the dongle with a deposit. Any extra cost might be for training or support while you use the software.
- If you decide to keep the dongle then you lose your deposit and you own the dongle.
- The trial version lets you test the interface and tools in Exocad but it does not allow you to save or export anything.
- Your reseller can provide you with sample files to test with your CAM software and mill or printer to make sure everything works the way you want before you buy.
The only functionality missing is the ability to save stl and export. You will get a basic understanding of how the software works, but without the ability to save stl files the real magic of exocad is undiscoverable.I'd like to know what functionality is missing to see if it's worth it.
