hey teahole i never asked why do you think that nobody uses 3dvm ...
i just saw this thread : http://www.cnczone.com/forums/okuma/...-software.html
and i remember that a few years ago i had a discussion with a man with contacts at Comelz from Italy
In some regions in Italy, crafting machines and materials for the leather industry it is a family heritage
Among others, Comelz is producing a pretty advanced machine; after a while, Comelz build its own plant, were to use them
do you think that Okuma is doing a similar thing ( dreamsite / smart factory ) ?
onestly, 3dvm is a floating product ... it requires more things, so to make it work as it should, inside a flawless mechanism
kindly !
