To properly corner a market they all need to drop the prices and fire the dickheads that work for some of the CAD/CAM companies and get people who know both sides very well.
The tooling companies are the same to many word people with no real background in cad/cam or machining in general, kennametal has started to send all there tooling guys out for a few weeks to learn about machining at a high end job shop and there testing labs.

Yes I have had to many set too with support people lately and rant over.

They are long term planning, there are a few companies starting to do it, where students and teachers get it free or realy cheap and hobbyist with some can get the same thing or get the student version, solidworks student edition if you search around you can find it dirt cheap per year I will try and find the link I have for getting it for FA.

cero have one as well for students.

Yep that's why they brought out artcam and Delcam Plc to get the artiey stuff and the 4th axis plus stuff.

Its one day

You can do continuous 4th axis in Fusion 360 yet, just indexing 3+1 and 3 + 2 and wrap
