I had once been thinking about Inventor, but now I'm leaning towards Alibre (Expert), and would like your thoughts.

The majority of the work I do will end up being cut on a CNC router.

Custom Electric guitars and similar 3D work

Custom furniture designs with a parts library of designs I can reuse and tweak. (desks, tables, chests, etc)

Basic signage in 3D

3D models out of foam/etc

Various machinery out of wood/aluminum/etc, designing my own CNC, etc. (ideally with simulation)

Will Alibre work with these things very well? I realize it's probably overkill for signage but figured I'd list that for some basic stuff.

What CAM solution do you suggest to acomplish these things, at a reasonable price?

Thanks,

John
