My question is, will the control system on the laser be similar in use to the other Mazatrol controllers we are using? I guess what I am asking is, will it be a cam based programming system? Please keep in mind that i know NOTHING about laser cutting!

......as an afterthought; In the event it is not going to be as simple as my other Mazaks what programming software will I need. We have SolidWorks and MasterCam-10......if that helps?
