Bobcad will produce the G code. Although I've probably cursed
Bobcad as much as anyone around, I'd have to say it does produce
code that makes good parts. It's certainly not for complex 3-D
surfaces, but, IMO, for a person just starting out in CNC machining,
attempting complex surfaces is a sure path to frustration anyway.
