Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CAM software

well i havent used it that much but once you get the post process options
right it seems to work ok for 2D. I havent been able to set it up for 3D , i
dont know if thats possible?.
I have an opportunity to play with mastercam at a friends works but i think
its quite a steep learning curve and might not be that hobby friendly?!
besides I'd really prefer to have something i can use at home.
