Solid Modeling For The Home Shop Machinist
I'm of the opinion that every home shop machinist can benefit from solid modeling. One of the major benefits of solid modeling is the ability to create assemblies/use mating.
The problem is cost. What are the alternatives available to expensive mid-range modelers like SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge, etc. that offer assembly modeling functionality? It seems like $2,0000 is the entry level price for a product that has assembly/mating.
Suggestions for CAD solid modeling that has assembly functionality that's more affordable?
