RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: TurboCAD CAM 2.5 dim or 3 Dim ?

Thanks Caudlet. I am looking at Mesh CAM also but own TurboCADCAM which I
bought fully expecting that it would convert TurboCAD native format .tcw to
G code. Maybe I am missing something.

MeshCAM does not not have the calulators and preset machine parameters that
makes it easier to set up G code for say Mach 2/3.

Neither of these have 4th axis :-(

Take a look at MeshCAM for generating 3D toolpaths from either DXF or
STL. 100 bucks gets you the basic package and the g-code works well
with MACH2 or MACH3.
