I have to ask the gurus before I go insane...Is there a good open source CAM SW package out there?
I have spent hours parousing the web, and have found a lot of options, but I guess I'm having a hard time finding a Christmas tree in the forest...The pages linked from the EMC documentation CNC Links page are at least three years old - I'd imagine things have changed a bit since the last time they were updated. My primary design app is TurboCAD (Windows), and since I have been using it for >12 years, I'm kind of attached it. It can save as DXF, DWG, STP, IGES and a lot of other formats - so have a good chance of creating a good file for just about any CAM app. I'm hoping someone has already poked around, and would be willing to share :-) I'm not (completely) unwilling to fork out $2K for a commercial package if I really have to, but would REALLY like to avoid if possible...That's more than half way towards the next toy (tool) I'm considering. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
