Dear Jan

Machining Strategist from NC graphics has this facility. We use it for both
research and commercial work on high speed milling and laser processing. We
also teach our students how to write NC code in a 2 hour lab class, so it
must be simple to use!

Dear list and RP/T/M friends,

I'm looking for an updated overview about CAM packages that can calculate
NC-cutterpaths on STL-files. I know a few packages that can do that but like
to know all the packages to have a good overview for a presentation soon to
be held. I know the following packages:

Powermill from DELCAM
DeskProto from Delft Spline Systems
VISI-CAM from Vero International
Cimatron
Tebis
Visual Mill form MecSoft Corporation

Does anyone of you know more packages, please let me know. I will (ofcourse)
send the complete overview to this list again.

Many many thanks in advance for your effort and like to hear from you soon!

All the best from Holland
