    Rhino is probably the only CAD solution which for the price offers and delivers quality in creation. However this is only a CAD and it needs a multitude of plug-in to bring it to the level of ArtCAM. This is not an alternative but a more complex piece of software which will disappoint most of the new/young designers.

    Cute 3D solution but not aiming to design jewelry or bas reliefs. This is basically Rhino on a different platform with no real artistic tools.

    I like TYPE EDIT as an alternative to Autodesk ArtCam as it provides similar features and identical workflows. It is completely scalable from 2D to 3D and allows 2.5 Projections for mold applications.

    I don't like SprutCAM as an alternative to Autodesk ArtCAM because it focuses only on the CAM creations. There is no bas reliefs in 3D capability.

    I don't like MESHCAM as an alternative to Autodesk ArtCAM because it focuses only on the CAM portion of 3D creations. It is not the fastest way to generate G-Code. It needs to have the 3D done somewhere else.

    it deals with 3D mesh for the wood industry and can machine them directly in its CAM module. Of all alternative I think this is the 2nd one with Meshcam capable of doing this.
