Why no Wire EDM in Inventor Cam?

Why does Inventor Cam not support Wire EDM ? Seems like there would a be a big enough market for this, been around for 40 + years , Longer than Water Jet or Laser or 3D printing.

That's why they bought DelCAM, FeatureCAM has it.

Well, to afford $5250.00 per seat per year, you need to be a multi million company , I am not! I just need a wire program extension , or in my a case a stand alone Cam for wire, cause I'm not getting one here !(anytime soon)

Es cierto que Feturecam dispone de este recurso pero el coste de la aplicación es elevado para utilizar solo el modulo de EDM. la solución seria Fusion360 que tiene un coste menor.

En cuanto a si hay demanda o no ; en unos meses me han hecho esa consulta. evidentemente esos clientes se han ido a la competencia... es una pena no poder cubrir esa necesidad. Gracias
