+Blender CAM is an open source solution for artistic CAM - Computer aided machining - a g-code generation tool.
+
+Blender CAM is an extension for the free open-source Blender 3d package.
+
+It has been used for many milling projects, and is actively developed. If you are a developer who would like to help, don't hesistate to contact me.
+
+This extension is free of charge, however you can donate to support the development and appreciate the work which has allready been done.
+There is currently no warranty for the results from blender CAM - you have to check your paths before use. Blender CAM has been tested with success in my studio. I wouldn't recommend Blender CAM for metalworking now, be carefull if you try it.
