Hello,
I work at two schools teaching various AutoDesk software programs. We are currently using AutoCAD 2006 and Inventor 10. One school (possiblly both) is going to build this type of router for use in our classes. Just for demonstrations mostly.
From reading on here, it seems you are taking drawings and converting them to g-code. I know that works, since I have done it in the past myself on old MaxNC 10 machines. I used a demo machine recently, however, with no conversion, just open the files (dxf, stl, etc.) in the software that runs the machine.
Can any of you recommend an in-expensive (or free) software to do this that will work with the router? Mastercam or something is pretty expensive.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Brian
