Gerry is right on there. I had to learn Alphacam on my own. Been at it for 4 years now but I haven't done any real 3D work. I only have Advanced Router 2010 R1 but I can do some 3D things with it such as profiled Oval Window Trim and Crown Molding using the Side Profile Feature with ball tools. I would like to get into doing surfaces in 3D but we don't have the machine that will do it any way so I can't justify the extra expence on the software. Have you joined the Alphacam forums on the Planit web site? There are people there that have 5 axis machines and are doing 3D that would be willing to give you some hints.
Happy Machining !
