[Emc-users] Synergy for hobbyists

2009-05-19 Thread Dave Engvall
Hi all,

Ah, rumors,  rumors ... well better than a rumor. Weber Systems has  
decided to offer a hobbyist price for
the 2.5D version of their CAD/CAM package.  Of course you have always  
been able to do the CAD
for free  but the CAM cost $250. Now they are offering the package  
for non-commercial use at $89.95.
  This of course comes with minimal support. They do have some pretty  
good tutorials for you to sit thru.

Things like gears, cams, splines and nurbs now become easier. :-)

Most of that is pretty exotic for the things I do but conics are  
pretty handy.

Finally the disclaimer: Indeed I have no financial interest in this.  
Darned!

Happy camming.

Dave

Even that is a bit steep for an old fart on SS. Darnit!

Thanks for the heads up, Dave.

But think about how much your WV Caddy cost you.  I drive less  
expensive cars (well used) and spend the extra on machining. ;-)

On second thought I do need to pare down the stable.  '86 Honda from  
DIL ( needs engine), '88 Honda (267 K mi ) but runs well, 1973 3/4 T  
chassis with
useless (now)  diesel, 10' x 8' trailer for hauling wood ... 11x22.5  
tires with type 40 cans, M561 (gamma goat) and finally '98 Concorde  
which is my
current transportation.

Too much stuff.

Dave

Turn does appear to be before we get to 3D stuff.
