    ARTCAM! how much did that cost you?? Isn't that the real expensive one like several grand, maybe i,m thinking of the otherone....
    Anyway I used meshcam.
    cnc4free is a site that I'd say might be a low cost solution for those on a shoestring.
    A free program I found the other day that microsoft bought(now that's scary) is
    True Space, google it, does 3-d modeling, and a whole lot more, tons of videos, gota go to work now, later......

    I have been experimenting with a lot of different programs demos out there, I could never afford artcam but it works well. I like the cut2Dprogram by velectric as well.
    There is a free program out there called CAMBAM and that seems to work well too.
