RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: easy to learn use cad/cam cnc software?

If you're going to use TurboCAD for design, then it would certainly make
sense to use TurboCADCAM for the whole thing. It will not control your
machine, but it is the best CAM system for the buck if you can live without
full 3D CAM. Unlike few others, the CAM is fully integrated into the CAD so
small design changes in the drawing are automatically reflected in the tool
path planning.
