You can download a demo version of Dolphin 3DCAM at my website
www.pressgo-cnc.co.uk. This version is identical to the production
version except from it doesn't produce any CNC code.
Time limited trials are available (30 days).
I am hoping to have a 'hobby' version available soon, price to be
advised.
It's extremely easy to learn and use. It accepts native Rhino files
or IGES.

Anyone who downloads the demo version can contact me if you have any
questions.
