I have a German made CNC router Easy 440 with stepper controller MC100F and CAM software NC-Easy & USB controller. As CAD program I have been using Vector, which was purchased together with the machine. The machine is mechanically strong, accurate & sturdy and I have been very satisfied with it, and it performs perfectly the 2D and 2.5D cutting functions.
However I would like to convert my machine to full 3D cutting, but do not know which programs/electronics to choose. The programs should be affordable and easy to learn & use, because I am using it only for my hobbies (car, lorry & tank model building from scratch). I would be very happy if you could suggest me which programs & electronics to purchase (download).
