CAM Software - Free?
Since our team may start milling more things I was looking for CAM software (unfortunately I do not know if our mill can use the files but it would be simpler for the EWCP if we could do it ourselves as well as I wan to learn it)

It appears Pro/E has built in CAM features, however I really like Solidworks, is it possible to take a part which has triangular filleted cutouts for example, open it in Pro/E intact and CAM it?

Are there any other solutions provided to FRC for the CAMing of Solidworks Files? Or should I acquire Pro/E (which I to some degree want to try also.)
