If it ain't 4th Axis, it ain't 3D!

This is what a machine looks like when it is making money.

Are you ready? On a regular basis I use, Rhino 3.0 qnd 4.0, Rhino CAM and Rhino Art, Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop CS2, Parts Wizard, Clay Tools, Visual Mill and Notepad. I know notepad sounds stupid in that list of software, however, there are times when it is faster for me to make my own G-code than it is to draw a rectangle, nest it and generate tool paths.

Thanks for the compliment.

Listing Notepad (or any such thing) is a badge of honor. I spent 20 years working to develop automatic algorithms for applications like robotic welding. The guys who *really* understand things work at whatever level is most efficient-- it's not about the tools, it's about getting a job done.

Well done.

I am honored by your compliment. Thank you.
