Though I have nothing that could be considered "really important or sensitive" on my computer, I don't want ANY GOVERNMENT messing with my computer be they city, county, state, federal or any foreign governmental agency. I am retired military and we (active duty and retired) have been WARNED by Command, on a monthly bases, to stay clear of FaceBook, Tweeter, and other types of social media. I agree with everything you've said in the above statement. I will likely be castigated for my belief but I will say this regardless. They are in bed with the NSA so use at your own risk.Billy, I'm not going to give them anything and I'm not going to put my life and work in their hands for safe keeping.

If you're OK with giving them full access to your life you go for it. Google is not your friend, they are there to exploit you via your personal information. Things like Session Riding, Virtual Machine Escapes, Insecure Cryptography/Data Transfers, Insecure APIs and Malicious Insiders is only a fraction of the risks involved with cloud computing whether it's public OR private.Īs for the non-application cloud services, I stay as far away from them as I can. Public AND private clouds can be affected by both malicious attacks and infrastructure failures such as power outages. Where they are available to anyone with the will to exploit.
I tried Alibre when it first came out and, like the America On Line (AOL) internet service provider, it was soooo terrible I never tried it past the 30 day trial, but I've heard some people are very happy with the current version. The solid modeling engine is very powerful and even though I use Solidworks daily (currently v2014) I prefer to do solids in Mastercam. It flows very well and presents multiple ways to do just about everything it does. HaroldMastercam is somewhat difficult if you're not familiar with the basics of CAD/CAM because of the vast amount of functions it does. For some strange reason it simply won't work on my computer. Have had it for at least 5 years and can't get past page 5 of the manual. Is it difficult to learn to use MasterCAM? I am still learning. All I have is a Bridgeport type CNC mill with X, Y, Z and W axis (similar to an indexing head). That's what you get with 3d modeling, the ability to realize concepts in 3 dimensions. Now if you wanted a 3d representation of that square, you would need to fold the paper into a physical square. take a shape you want to visualize and draw it out on a piece of paper in one view. The post engine (the thing that creates the gcode for your machine) is highly customizable (open source).Īn easy way to understand the difference between 2d and 3d is this. You can absolutely use it with your router. With the right "options" you can do 4 and 5 axis and solid modeling among other things.
I've been using it for a couple of decades and have made VERY good money with it. It is one of the more popular CAD/CAM programs out there.
Mastercam costs many thousands of dollars.
