Ahh yes the FAQ answers everything and it seems that the educational version would be appropriate.
My only question now is this: from what I have read the parametric modelling of a package like Alibre seems better suited to me than NURBS modelling of Rhino. I do realise that they are completely different aspects (NURBS has nothing to do with parametric and vice versa), but those seem to be the two primary points of the two packages.
I don't need anything
that complex, as it's only really 2.5D that I'll ever be machining. I probably just want to draw something in 2D and "extrude" to 3D (then tweak).
Oh and I found a on the Rhino site
Oh yeah I can make that....
