Regrettably, I don’t think there is.
I, too, would consider a visualization system, but I don’t want to switch from my Mac and have to learn a new platform especially with all the problem Windoze users seem to have.
There is a comparison chart onThe Grumble which you might find useful.

I fear you're right. At present I'm using a PC but that has to go to make room for a CMC.
I might consider running something on the CMC control PC but I've been trying to use some PC software (Custom Art Framer) and have struggled without success to get decent colour matching. It really doesn't work to tell the customer that the mount that looks blue on the computer is really green.
I have no problems getting good colour balance on the Mac but on the PC I've tried a hardware calibrator and getting a PC expert (who is a professional photographer and Photoshop trainer) round to help. All to no avail. And it's not as if it's a cheapo PC - it's an IBM ThinkPad with an IBM second screen.

Re: mac visualisation
If there is, you should find it at Versiontracker. Ithink you mean 3D-visualisation?WelshFramer wrote:Does anyone know of any visualisation software for the Mac?
Hmmm I investigated and noted that I already saw a Mac in use for mat-cutting by Larson & Juhl many years ago. And I also know that my USA-customer is using it too and only uses it coupled with indesign. Many years ago I also saw a Mac in use for a plotter/cutter in the carton-industry.
