Modules

MILL	Allows user to program CNC milling machines
Turn	Allows user to program CNC turning machines
Mesh	Allows user to create mesh models from point clouds Allows for refinement, reduction and clean-up of mesh models Allows for creation of supports for 3D printing
ART	Artistic modeling; allows user to take bit maps/pictures and convert them to 3D vector geometry that will be suitable for milling or 3D printing
NEST	Allows for layout of closed shapes on sheet of material so as to optimize number of pieces that can fit on sheet
