Spai Genio software

As John says or go for something a little bit more simpler in life. CamBam or similar will get you going?

The Spai genio is so expensive because it's parametric software, I'm not sure if it's full Cam parametric in that it changes the G-code when 3D model is changed.? Given the low price I suspect not and would expect if Cam was Parametric they would be making a BIG mention about it.!

Other than being more effecient regards changes made to CAD model which will slightly speed up the work process the Cam side will still need to be reprogramed to update any G-code for the same part.
I don't think it will make the machine work much more effeciently than any other Cad/Cam software that use's a good post processor built for the machine.

If I was spending a few grand on software and needed parametric I'm pritty sure I wouldn't buy this software and would look to something like Alibra.!

If taking the cheap route then without knowing your exact needs but suspecting it's mainly profile and relief work because of the Scm95 then I'd look to the Delcam or vectric software rather than Cambam.! . . . . Nothing wrong with Cambam but the others offer better features more suited to routing work IMO.
Delcams Artcam express is great for £99 and can be upgraded as needed or upgrade to the more advanced Insignia or ArtcamPro.
Same with Vectric software start with v-carvepro then migrate to Aspire. I think both Delcam and vectric deduct the price of initial software if you upgrade.?

STAY AWAY FROM BOBCAD.!!!. . . . Don't even download the free trail they will hound your lifeout.
I've got it and know it very very well and for me it works fine for 60% of my needs but it's pritty rubbish when it comes to routing relief work or 3D plus its very strange in how it works and very very un-intuative. The Vectric/Delcam softwares are far better suited and cheaper.
