Hi everyone,

I wanted to do a quick poll and see what software everyone is using and how they would grade it. (I know this is very subjective, but still).

If the answers could be formatted along the lines of:

Cad Software
Name:
2d/2.5d/3d:
Grade (1-10):

Cam Software
Name:
# axis:
Grade (1-10):

Controller Software
Name:
Grade (1-10):

Other Software
Name:

If anyone wants to add additional details, please feel free to.

Please respond to this message and we’ll get a good comprehensive list of software being used which will benefit everyone. Thanks.
