Hi Michael:

My question is maybe outside of place but it interests me that in a future MOI it includes a Plug In of CAM. I believe that MOI fulfills all the requirements to be able to achieve it.

The scrip problem for me you already solves and MOI works very well I suggest that all check its systems of security.


Best Regards

Hi Juan, I don't really have a lot of CAM-specific experience myself, so it isn't very likely that I will make a CAM system myself.

But in the future I would like to make a plug-in system for MoI so that other developers could add a CAM system in as an extension.

But it will take quite a bit of work to make a plug-in system, I think that it will take quite a bit of time before I will be able to work on this area.

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.
