3D Support is starting to appear in CamBam.  Here a 3DS model of a cow is being viewed.

A VBScript was used to take 2D 'slices' through the 3D model of a cow in preparation for 3D profiling that will appear in later versions.  Steak anyone?

GCode files can be opened and viewed within CamBam.  Different colours are used to differentiate lines and arcs.

CamBam is extendable using plugin .NET dlls written in most .NET supported languages such as C/C++, C# or Visual Basic.   Here a plugin was written (using only a few lines of code), to open point cloud data files as produced by Mach3's touchprobe scanning wizard and convert them to a polyline object.
