Title: I need to cut 3D!!!
Post by: cut2spec on August 23, 2007, 09:37:40 PM

I am using a bench top vertical mill with Mach 3 and lazycam. I am drawing with AutoCad. I am not capable of drawing in 3D with autocad. What I would like to do is cut ramps-slopes in foam. I am willing to invest in new programs if I need to, but I would like to do it with what I have. Is this possible?

If you learn to model in 3D in AutoCAD, then you'll need a 3D CAM program like Meshcam to create the g-code.
