Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] RAMS Software

I took the intro to Rhino class several months ago. The program is
fantastic, especially for the price! As a SolidWorks user, however, I
really needed the classes to get up and running. Rhino 3D is a great
program, but works very differently from other CAD programs I've used. The
next Rhino class in Seattle is Nov 5-7 and is most definately worth the
investment for those interested in 3D design work. here's a link to the
training schedule.

Good luck,

Scott
