I'm new at this so bear with me. From my understanding of CNC
software, If I use AutoCad I am basically drawing the toolpath of the
cnc and not the object itself ? Is there a program where you draw the
object and then the computer plots all the paths and does all the
calculations determined by cutting width of your tool(Is this what a
CAM program is) ? Is there a difference between a CAD program and a
CAM program ? I currently have Autocad and TurboCNC and trying to
decide how it fits together and if there is other recommended
software to use or if I need a CAM program also. Thanks for the help.
