Actually more program fund on the web. Most of them  $30-40. My concern with 3d toolpathing, very timeconsuming. Assuming 1/4
balllnose, with 0.025 stepover. Can be compared to a larger ballnose about 2-2.5 dia, and average passwidth is 0.75-1 inch.
Counting on a shopbot, and 300 ipm for finish, the different can be seen of comparing the 0.025 stepover in case finish, with 0.75 stepover in case a vcarving method.
What i fund interesting, the method as ucancam generate the conturlines.
Thank you again to taking time.

I emailed them before a while.. They said they fix any issue with program.   Their forum is not so fancy, however they answer for questions.
Actually i was looking for a program, generate waves... I just lazy to draw lines, if a program generate automatically..
As I looked for other programs, they dont makes it automatically. You have to spend tremendous time to draw lines out..
