I was watching the video for the Dolphin Wire EDM CAM Generator, it looks like we could fairly simply use this program in an ideal way for lasers. You can set thread through and remove positions for the wire wich we can use a post prossessing script to remove those lines and replace them with laser on/off commands. It will also do the 4 axis processing to do tapering and any angle you want off of 2d profiles with loads of radiusing and champhering options. I think this could be very usefull and it's only $995. I think we can do this. There may be even cheaper Wire EDM CAM solutions out there.
