If you use a Router you should have a Router version of CAM with Nesting, Engraving, Inlay, Raster to Vector, DXF Batch Import, joint fillets, doors and hinges macro and others common woodworking operations.Īnd remember if you want play CAD CAM and you are not a pirate you must spend some money because unfortunately, the free software is not very productive. FreeCAD is a multiplatfom (Windows, Mac and Linux), highly customizable and extensible software. If not, the CNC Controller software we list below is excellent, especially for CNC Routers. ![]() If you bought a machine assembled or as a kit, it may very well come with CNC Controller software. In the other hand we have Vectric Aspire for the woodworking art 1500$ with a lot of tutorials around the web, for cabinets try Cabinet Vision. This is the software that actually runs your CNC Machine. The most convenient CAD CAM in terms of money is ZW3D 2015 Lite (only 2.5 ops.), it has very nice CAD interface and a potent CAM for "less than 1000$". Imho HSM is one of the best options but is not a standalone program, it is integrated in Inventor or in SW. ![]() I also use Mastercam a lot but a novice needs a program with an intuitive interface that he can learn by his own. ![]()
