What machine are you using?
Cliff,
Available post processors may be a small issue.
I don't know that either of them can do 5 axis swarf contouring.

Cliff,
Trimming vacuform shapes can get pretty complex. More complex than jet canopies. You just don't have the accuracy requirements (or the expensive scrap if you mess up)

With Camworks, the availability of a post is a limiting factor. We got our 5 axis router last August and did our first 5 axis cut Friday. Getting the post from Camworks and de-bugging it has been very time consuming.
