Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Dolphin Partmaster

From what I can tell, Blender started out as an animation thing, but 3D
design is 3D design and it got adapted for CAD and video game modeling.

I don't know what the options are for CAM to actually generate G-code
from it. Like I say, unless you're 3D printing, it's difficult to work
with general-purpose .STL files for CAM. They say there are CAM scripts
for Blender but I don't know much about them.

They say Blender's "learning curve" is pretty harsh.
