Member	carl@bnmolds.com - 1/31/2017 12:43:40 PM RE:CAM Hi Mike, I did have a chat with Kubotek sales and was told they had no plans to update the CAM module. Witch is a pity as my guys on the shop floor love it. Carl Reply \| Quote \| Subscribe to post

RE:CAM

We've been using Surfcam for over 20 years although we don't have the current version. I would go with a program that has the largest user base and in your area. And support/training would be critical if starting out with new software. From what i've seen by playing around with Fusion 360, it's not bad for the price either.
