Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: CAD-CAM Software

There are some excellent third party products that plug into Rhino and add full-featured CAM capability.

RhinoCAM from Mecsoft is one of them.
http://www.rhinocam.com
madCAM (as in "mould-and-die" CAM) is another.
http://madcamcnc.com
madCAM is especially well supported with a forum and direct access available to the developer. It's always advancing, currently moving fast in serious rotary axis support.

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