Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: just found VisualMill/Rhino bundle on sale

Oh sorry, If I had known someone on here was selling it on their site, I would have bought it from them to support the group. (and saved a bit too). Oh well. I am excited though.

I bought the VisualMill/Rhino package yesterday after doing quite a
bit of searching through past posts and seeing good reviews for
VisualMill, and generally good reviews for Rhino. Even if I don't
end up using Rhino that much, it still seems like a decent deal. On
the other hand, I managed to model a quite complex mount for my CO2
laser focusing lens in Rhino last night after only playing with it
for a few hours. Seems easy to use.

[I think you'll learn to like Rhino a lot- most people who get into it end
up feeling passionately fond of it. I'm also offering the bundle on my site
(for slightly less than the $1495 special offer pricing). People who already
own Rhino can get VisualMill 4 by itself. Visual Mill is a heckuva deal at
this price- they were selling the previous 3.0 version by itself for $3450
just last week, and 4.0 has some very useful improvements, like true 4-axis
functionality. Rhino has also partnered up with IronCad, and persuaded them
to offer their Innovate mechanical design program (essentially IronCad
without sheet metal and 2d drafting) for a lot less too. ]

Now we both just need to figure out which post-processor to use with
EMC.

[Doesn't it want plain ISO G-code, of the Allen-Bradley flavor?]
