Sven,
Thanks for the well thought out explanation I have not seen much of
MadCam maybe I need to investigate further. Good luck in your search. If
you had needed the part machined from solid stock I may have been able to
help but I do not have plastic injection molding capabilities her. Good
luck in your search. Peace
Pete
