Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Image to gcode

I used Image2GCode to generate G code for my first 3 axis cnc machining.
Since it was my first time generating G-Code, I'm obvisously inexperienced
so can't really comment on how well the program worked. Other than I
downloaded one of the earliest demo versions and it locked up my computer a
lot. Before spending any $, I would insist on trying a demo version to
make sure it works for you.
