Hello...
I'm a rank newbie here, but having read up a bit, I've started trying to come up with the list of software I'll need to go from a Rhino 3D model to Gcode to a parallel-port DIY router...
At this point, I'm looking at using Rhino3/4 to model, madCAM to generate the toolpath/Gcode, and then MACH3, to run the router.
Would this combination work, and are there other options I should be aware of? (I'd prefer to keep things as inexpensive as possible. At the same time, I will be milling [flying] model airframe components, so accuracy is a big plus.)
I did look at Freemill, but as has been pointed out repeatedly, it's pretty rough, and doesn't run reliably on my machine here, anyhow.
Thanks!
