Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Machine calculator

you are right

but its about $300. looking for a free tool-chain at this point.

i am sure any solid modeling cad program can do this too, so can finite
element modeling programs. the former will take me a year to pay for,
the latter will take a year to learn to use....

ill keep digging.
