Like most of y'all, we're a team working on a tight budget, and anytime we can find an "open source" program to fulfill our needs it's great. Or, bless the big guys, when companies like AutoDesk and SolidWorks provide copies of their software for robotics students it's equally great. But getting a lot of commercial programs, with their yearly update / subscription / maintenance agreements, stretches our resources...

The RETAIL costs for VisualMILL for SolidWorks are posted here:
http://www.visualmillforsolidworks.c...ng-List3.shtml
HOWEVER, they offer
very deep educational discounts.
We paid a one-time license purchase fee (no recurring costs) for a 5-seat license.
I don't think there are any educational prices publicly posted. You will need to contact MecSoft directly to get a quote. They've been quite good to us, all things considered, and their costs for us have been quite reasonable.
