[Noisebridge-discuss] Laser Cutter Computer

[Robert Benson]

thx for the info. if i try to get the full spectrum laser running with
linuxcnc, i will do it from another (probably mine) computer.

just curious, is linux & open source 3D & lasercutter software
*really*that far behind windows & proprietary? i haven't found a good
comparison
