Also nice is the imachining demos, but perhaps more from a machinists point of view, chews through the work. Pity it costs a shit-ton so I've never had a chance to use it.

Be great to have.....
If it isn't profitable you could just toss it in the drink........

I meant job wise. As in opportunities for employment, in-job training, and type of people often found at those companies.

I've jumped ship and on my third trade so would be interested to know who's good to work for.

I wouldn't recommend being the hairy that has to stand and watch these things all day, that shit gets old real quick! And the programmer will need CAD experience minimum, preferably CAM as well.

Not sure on specific companies or if there are many jobs going in either part.
