G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / cad/cam choices when Gcode is all that's desired
« on: June 16, 2015, 04:34:27 PM »
Getting cross-eyed from testing demos and reading reviews but bottom line for what I want seems to be vectric or artcam. The free bmp2gcode programs seem to be more involved time-wise than a $150 investment is worth. The PhotoVCarve and ArtCam Express are both in the $150 range. I'm concerned mostly with desktop CNC g-code of images for the time being. PhotoVCarve seems simple and adequate while the ArtCam Express seems more than adequate and offers more CAM features (for future use). Has anyone else evaluated or compared these 2 programs lately (2015)?
