I have seen this at the last two ME shows. It works well, but the
designer has gone a different route to what most people into CNC's
expect.

The machine is programmed by drawing the part in the integrated drawing
package, that is it!

I think most CNC people would expect an industry standard programming
scheme ie G Codes. I expect it works very well, but personally it
would not be for me.

Strangely it was 1st developed for turning, and even at this point it
does not support spindle encoders, so cannot screwcut.
