Advantages of PyCAM

• interactive 3D model view
• estimate machine time for each toolpath
• scale, move, rotate, flip and transform 2D/3D models
• 2D projection
• multi-layered 2D models
• extrusion of 2D models with configurable slopes

Disadvantages of PyCAM

• It does not have a CAD modeler,
• 3D models need to be in STL
• 2D models in DXF or SVG.
