Hi Ed17.

For the most part, any decent CAM package will work with Moi. Nearly every one available will properly import an STL file and convert it to CNC data. The trick is to design with CNC in mind, so you don't end up with radii that cannot be duplicated with the available tools. For example, if your smallest bit is a .003" ball mill, then all the curves in your design must be that size or larger. Otherwise, some odd compromises will happen during the CNC operation. Luckily, if your tolerances for fit and finish are relatively "loose", the problem should not really present itself.

Moi actually generates *EXCELLENT* STL meshes for use in rapid prototyping and CNC operations. I am often asked what version of SolidWorks I am running by my vendors. They are more than slightly surprised when I tell them I am running Moi exclusively.

Confused yet? LOL
