I'm sure someone will chime in with a useful suggestion, an idea of your budget would help, or if it's a one-off someone might take the time to help out and save you the trouble,

All packages are different so CAD/CAM learning resources aren't all transferable, some the guys on here have great experience with free and cheap systems, unless you have around £1K spare I'm afraid I'm not the guy to ask for recommendations,
