Wow that is a bargain, bought Cut 2D in January and kinda wished I'd hung on as that does alot more than what I have ...... will this software actually machine 3D stuff as well as 2D ?

Doesnt show what it does for £99, and then it wants to sell you lots of modules at much larger prices!
Could mount up past Aspire!

Fair enough, the modules do mount up, but if you were going to buy all of them then you might as well buy Insignia. The way it has been done is if you only use certain features and saves you shelling out a packet for Insignia for one feature that you need.

For instance, if you cut out lots of parts and needed nesting but wouldnt need anything else, buy the nesting addon and then you have a powerful package that costs a lot less than Insignia.

Here is the webpage telling you what it does in the £99 version:

yes it will machine 3D but wont model anything, so you can machine things from the clipart library ot import a 3D model and machine that
