<div>There is a 30 day demo of sprutcam...</div>
<div><br>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>No idea what the cost is, hopefully, for now at least, the 30 day demo will help you get the results your looking for.</div>

Heeks or PyCAM were the best ones we found that could do profiling.<br>

The harder the material the slower you have to go, i think technically<br>
you could do aluminium with it if you have the right bits.<br>
<br>
For profiling you will need some round/ball nose end mills, which i do<br>
not think we have any of, all ours are square/flat nose. a few different<br>
sizes if you want to get it done in a reasonable time too.<br>
