There's no easy way to convert a mesh into a parametric solid. So you need a CAM package that will read mesh's directly
I believe that Vectric's Cut3D can read .obj files directly.
MeshCAM is similar to Cut3D, but only accepts .stl files.
Most more expensive CAM programs will also read .stl files.
For $20, Accutrans can convert the .obj it into a bunch of different formats.
