Its hard to beat this price for 3D Cad/Cam which is free for hobbyist
and startups making less than 100K per year.

It requires Window, but its free!
I know of a shop that is using Inventor now and they are moving a lot of
their work to Fusion 360.
The cost is a fraction of the Inventor price per seat. Something like
$800 per year for a commercial business.
I used it a couple of years ago to do some lathe parts and it was really
easy. The parts were designed, and G code generated in a day, and this
was the first time we ever used it. Mill code is more difficult than
lathe code typically, but still, one day. There was a lathe post that
worked perfectly with LinuxCNC.
I understand that they have improved it a lot in the last two years as well.

Can your cad/cam program do that in 300 LOC? 100k LOC maybe.
Who knows. No one EVER reads the g-code or counts the lines. I have some
files with a few million lines.
But here is another question: Can you hand code a DB9 cut out in less than
6 minutes? THAT is what matters.
And can you hand code a compound curve, like a small part for a human-like
prosthec hand?
