It costs less than that for hobby and startup use. And I think that their
definition of "startup" is quite generous. (Less than $100,000 per year)

It really depends on what you want to do. A Cam package good for
flamecutting will likely be lousy for a lathe.
Draftsight is free and very easy to use. Do you need nesting?

I would say it is usable, though it has it's quirks and it is a fairly
hands-on sort of CAM. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I second Onshape for CAD. The price is right. I actually love the fact that
it is online. No PDM, No Server, No CAD Station, No Video Card, No Crashes
(they just swap servers). Sharing is a breeze. I am sure they can do
security better than me. I know they have some big name CAM partners, but

I thought that Mach4 only needed to be connected to the internet when it
was installed to handshake with the license server?
Has Mach3 gone in the same direction ??I thought they stopped
development on Mach3.

What's the overall opinion of Cambam?
I tried it a while back and put it aside. I don't remember why, but I

Les should do a lathe version of Sheetcam.

I didn't know about BlenderCAM, after a glance at the site..hmm
I sent Les a message a few months ago asking if he was still planning to do a
lathe cam package in the same vein as Sheetcam. He said it was still in the
plan but he hadn't done anything with it yet. I assume you are talking about
hacking the existing Sheetcam to generate a lathe tool path? Ye

SheetCAM does lathes, and it's not bad once you figure out all the
switches needed to make it create a path and not include Y moves.

I too currently use (the stupidly named, IMO) Geomagic and it works well for me
at the moment but time will tell where they go with it. They did have a recent
update that seemed to indicate they would be supporting and adding feature in

Is anyone using BlenderCAM (

real? Any opinions? I only tried simple cut-outs, but it worked fine..

Realistically speaking I don't think that there is a toolchain for
Linux that is comparable to what you can find on Windows.
