I believe there is a big market for affordable CAM that's powerful enough to compete with Gibbs, Mastercam, etc. but sells for a lot less. Mecsoft ports Visual Mill to Rhino. They also are apparently going to port to Alibre. The owner of Mecsoft is one of the few people I have a lot or respect for in the CAM business. Suggest you get to know Joe Anand. Class act. Unigraphics background. Knows what machining job shops need in a CAM system.... graphical editing control over the toolpath, ability to change your mind on how you wish to machine parts without being penalized for changing your mind.
