Is Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) on the Shapr3D roadmap? Would really like to see a more user friendly alternative to Fusion 360.

In what respect, @CNC411? Any features in particular?
2D and 2.5D tool paths would be a good place to start.
Roughing toolpaths
Parallel Finishing takes a series of back-and-forth cuts across your model to machine the shallow, or flat, parts of your model.
Waterline Finishing, sometimes called Z-Level finishing, steps down your part to give a good finish on the steeper parts of your model.
Pencil Finishing is a cleanup toolpath that traces around the corners of your model to remove any leftover stock that might be difficult to remove by hand.
Cutout toolpaths can be used to cut simple 2D parts without a lot of effort or to remove your part from the stock when all of the other machining is done.
Drilling tool paths. The drilling toolpath can automatically find the holes and then create a toolpath for them, with optional spot drilling first.
