CAM Software

Postby sklemp » Sat Mar 19, 2011 11:14 pm

Hello,

Still trying to learn as much about the laser process before I start my build. What software are most of you guys using to convert your drawing into g-code? I plan to use AutoCad 2011 and/or Illustrator for designing things. (BTW, how awesome is it that you can draw something up and easily have it in your hands the same day?!).

Thanks,
sklemp

I'm using a FSE RetinaEngrave card and software so I don't have to generate g-code for my laser. For my router I use CamBam. I'm pretty happy with it.
