Sometimes typos lead to interesting mental imagery. I love the concept of putting a rapper on the job. Maybe Eminem can come up with a driving rap about CAD to CAM to machine:-) Seriously, though, there are as many CAD and CAM programs and utilities out there as there are developers who think they have a better idea. This is true for commercial programs as well as open-source and free software. It would be nice if there were an obvious best-of-breed package but there isn't and I doubt there ever will be. The list on the Wiki is getting a bit long in the tooth. We should be keeping it up to date. Just fer instance, SolveSpace isn't listed.
