Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CAM software with 2D relief capabilities

If you made an elipse 2d, then make a surface down from that contour that
would end up like one half of a football or an egg.
It would be very useful for making text on a part rather than having
straight edges on all the cavities as well as square off corners as one
would want with a V groove cutter.
Not sure I even understand what I just wrote.
