someone on a dutch CNC Forum (www.cnczone.nl) pointed me to CamBam.

as a toolmaker i've been working with "Heidi" ( Heidenhain TNC 410 CNC control) on a Bridegport VMC 800.

over the years, i've become very efficient with "Heidi" becaus of her powerful functions,
i was looking for a PC-based replacement for "Heidi" for my home-CNC, and CamBam's just what the doctor ordered.. just as powerful as Heidi. and with more intelligent toolpath generating.
