CAM Software? Any updates?

I pop my head in every couple months just to see if anything has been said about CAM software. Just checking to see if there is any information on mastercam or any other CAM packages being integrated into onshape.

    I'm told that the Onshape app store, which is where we'll get at third party functionality like CAM, is going up next month. So, don't wait a couple months before you check in again or you'll be late to the party!

     I don't think that you'll get an official response but the last mention of cam integration on this forum I believe was when you popped your head in last time. Honestly I feel that it will be quite a while before you see cam integrated here.
     
     What I would like thou, would be for Mastercam to be able to import an OnShape part studio directly and be able to update model & toolpaths if the part studio changes.

    I just want a good reason to use onshape. Any way I could use it is fine with me integrated cam or not but I like the sound of integrated as long as it works as good as onshape feels.

    eric thats a bargain. I hope to see some competitive pricing for cam here with onshape.
