talk to the dealer waht you need for Mastercam min with Mastercam Art add-on to give you the option of coining and organic surfacing options.

I Agree with cadcam. Get a demo. It cant hurt. He cant force you to buy it if your not ready. Best case you'll be more educated, worse case you'll still be lost on what you need. But probably a Mill Level 1 with Mastercam Art will do everything you need +.
