Re: Reverse CAD CAM

This can be part of a solution, but not enough. For example, If I have
a part with a inside hole (possible to make with deposition), the cam
software will for sure make it impossible.
Like a milling machine, you can only go deeper if what you are cutting
is tighter than the begin of the hole (so the tool and the support of
the tool would not touch the material left behind). In injections
systems this is not true, you can make a layer with a diameter of a
coin, after that a cookie, again a coin, a cd, and so on.

I was looking for a already make software, that gave me no problems.
