Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: CAM Software: Opinions Wanted

After looking at the description on the web site I get a bit confused:

First it shows numerous 3D shapes which the program will cut.
Then it goes on to say it will IGNORE 3D shapes, splines and text.

So...If I have a bas relief design I want to wrap on a curved surface, how
the #@$@$ is it supposed to generate the gcode since it ignores 3D shapes?
