Plan to purchase Roland MDX 15 in next month for use in very small PCB
proto shop. Reasons for purchase mostly $$$ ($2995), but scanning input
(and implied flexibility to accomodate other homebrew head devices) and
bundled SW also important. Will be used to route very small 15-20 mil
PCBs (1"x1" typ), 3-D scanning of populated PCBs, drilling PCBs, and
general small shop routing.

I am novice at this, but have done some machine shop work in past. Too
old to learn new CAD SW so need good interface with Autocad (and dread
dealing with yet another bundled SW). But am looking forward to baptism
into CNC and 3-D scanning.

I would like to build my own, but gotta get on with it so figure I will
try my hand at it when time available and with experience with Roland.

Does your planning address any of my current or future needs?

Patrick
