Tauseef-

If you are interested in the Rhino/MillWizard combination, you would
be doing yourself a favor by checking out United Artworks.

The owner of UA offers Rhino and MillWizard for a considerable
discount. Rhino is $600 US ($795 retail) and MillWizard is $200 US
($250 retail). This is prabably the cheapest you are going to find
Rhino for, and I have never seen MillWizard offered for less than
it's retail price.

I can't say enough about Rhino. I have been using it off and on for
about three years, but only recently to make actual models. We don't
have a mill yet, but I have been sending the files out to a service
for output. My company is in the jewelry industry and Rhino is
quickly becoming an industry standard in this field (among others).
Rhino presents quite a learning curve, (I am only now getting up to
speed) but then any good CAD program probably does also. There is a
good manual that comes with it and tons of tutorials on the web.

MillWizard is published by DelCam. They have other higher end CAD/CAM
products, and from what I can gather, they are a reputable company.
We will be purchasing one of their products called ArtCam soon. I was
very impressed by the toolpaths that ArtCam can generate (lots of
options). While MillWizard generates very basic tool paths, it does
share the underlying technology that all the DelCam products use.

Good Luck,
