Pushing the Envelope with CNC

So I brought in a model of a knife I'd made in Inventor (Interesting that Fusion 360 doesn't import IPT, but does STL and IGES) rather than trying to learn how to model and how to program in it. It's not bad to figure out if you have some previous experience in CAM. I think it would need a bit of learning to start from scratch, but any CAM does. So here's a short video of a very inefficient 3D surface milling of the bevels. I couldn't figure out how to tell the CAM what stock to machine this from, but one of the nice things about it that bugs the hell out of me in FeatureCAM is you can choose what surfaces you want to mill with a "touch" or "no touch" function, which is pretty sweet.

It's pretty capable if this is what you get for $25 a month.
