Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CAM software recommendations for vocational school

Keith,

I would recommend VisualMill for your Cam program www.mecsoft.com . I am a
dealer for VisualMIll and I can contact MecSoft Corp. for a price.

Last year they were selling five copies of 4.0 to schools for $995. They
have just started shipping version 5.0.

I would also be willing to work with you on a getting started tutorial for
students.

I have copied Greg Haywood at MecSoft on this note.
