If it's a proLIGHT 1000, I am quite familier with it. It can do just about anything you want a cnc mill to do, you just have to do it slowly.

CNC tools can do the following:

That endmill can cut more then that blue wax. Yes - you can simulate it in software - but doesn't that hold true for a lot of things? I can also tell you from experience that half the challenge is moving from the software to the mill. Even after that there is a lot to be learned. In the software endmill's dont break. In the software the order and direction of your cuts don't matter. In software you don't need to clamp the piece in place (and in software that piece doesn't fly off and hit something).

CIMs is probably the most valuable course in that sequence, exept for maybe DDP.
