Hello 1toolmaker,
MadCAM is a plug-in for Rhino and cannot run alone. We started develop
madCAM as a standalone system, but it’s much more powerful when integrated with Rhino, because you will have all the visualisation tools and functions for creating and editing curves, surfaces and solids in one system.
If you prefer to use another system for the modelling work, you can still use madCAM and Rhino for the CAM work. Rhino 4.0 is able to read almost any file format from other CAD systems like Autocad and Solidworks.
