GMFC functionalities

Enjoy a correct cutting speed, whatever what's going on the PC, thanks to a specific driver.
You may use even of an "old" cheap PC to drive the cutter!! an old Pentium 100Mhz is sufficient.

Differences between versions:

GMFC LIGHT, a version at a very low cost that provides functions to cut wings.
GMFC PRO, everything you need for cuttings wings, fuselages or any shape.
GMFC EXPERT, the high end version that ease the handling of complex DXF files.
GMFC PE, the historic GMFC version that requires Windows 98.
