Anyone using DesignCad 3DMax and Contour Cam?

[BCwanderer]

Has anyone experience using DesignCad 3D Max and Contour Cam

Is this a good combination?
Has anyone used it and would you recommend it?

The price is low $100 for the Cad and $150 for the CAM

The cam is supposed to work with versions 15 through 18

Any comments are appreciated

I also found another international site
http://www.contourcam.com/usa/Default.asp
It looks like the same cam program for $99

Here is the free trial

I e-mailed magicsystems and this is their reply to my questions

Yes, it's the same program.

We are currently in the process of amending the
installation process to install with DesignCAD
3D MAX ver. 18.

Yes, we are now the developer, but we didn't code
ContourCAM originally. It worked then with Design-
CAD 97, however, we adapted the program to work with
DesignCAD 3D MAX ver. 14, 15, 16, 17, and now 18.

Hope this helps.

Please Forgive the repost from another thread
No-one has responded to the previous thread.
I think I may have posted it to the wrong area

On Sept 5, 2007 Magic Systems e-mailed the announcement about ContourCam upgrade for Version 18
-They wrote-

Today we have uploaded a new install of ContourCAM, which will work with
DesignCAD 3D MAX ver. 18.

Click the free trial button at www.contourcam.com and download the new
install. The actual program has not changed, and old users can download this
install as well, since the activation key is the same. However, old users
should uninstall their old ContourCAM, before installing this one.

Enjoy!
