Re: Excaliburcnc by XCAM

Hi Chris,

I have both DesKam and STLwork, and they are nowhere the same, as far as
I can see! I'm itching to make some cuts using my STLwork. I've been
able to import a DEM file into STLwork and generate Gcode from it.
Looks good! STLwork has a whole list of imports, XYZ has my current
interest.
