RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] StlWork 3D CAM program, demo now available.

While I am stilly trying to understand all the great things I can do with
the VFontz Engraving program I got last week, can you help me understand how
this program differs from a CAD/CAM like Vector or BobCAD? In other words,
why would I want to add this program to my machining tool bag?

Also, What would be the advantage and disadvantage of getting STLWorks with
the translator/3D modeler versus just buying the upgrade to DesignCAD 3000?
