RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: CAD-CAM Software

Jon,
Actually, Rhino has a CAM plug-in called MadCAM. They were giving it away
if you had Rhino4 (not sure about ver.3). They may still be giving it away
so it's worth investigating.

Personally, I use MeshCAM a lot and quite like it.

Thanks,

But Rhino doesn't have a CAM function, does it?
