Whoops, I forgot to note that "bain" should be spelled, "bane" in my previous
note (for the english scholars out there).

Mark,
Sorry, not critizing but... what's 'bain'? Is this good or bad?

AlphaCam can read in STL files. You can't use them directly, you must
create "slices" or something to that effect. Again as has been mentioned
many times here before, STL files have terrible resolution! Use the
original geometry data if at all possible. I must tell you as an injection
molder and mold builder STL files are the bain of my existence.
