 Engineering is all about trade offs. You can design yor system to do A, B or C easily. Combining A abd C or A and B or B and C requires some effort. Combining A, B and C should be near impossible. - Mike Betts [more] |

Re: CAM Software - Free?
CAD = Computer-Aided Design
CAM = Computer-Aided Manufacturing (or Machining) CNC = Computer Numerical Control (Meaning something controlled by a computer). You design it in CAD and make it using CAM to control a CNC machine (mill, lathe, whatever). Often you use CAM to create a file of "G-Code", which is then interpreted by the CNC to actually produce the part. G-Code is a standard, there are others. Google it.
