Hi Danny,
I am mechanical Engineer and i have my own job that we make plastic injection mold. So we have 3 EDM machines and CNCs..
I used several CAM programs and now i use PowerMill. I just build my 3D printer with duetwifi , duex2 and paneldue 7". I am suffering from slicers because i can't control everything but I get used to it all day.
I developed all electric plastic injection machine controller by using PIC32MZxx now it is testing phase.
