ok then i will rephrase the question
what are the most popular cam software out there with respect of 3d designs?

thanks a lot for reply! I guess I will read the manual and check CB website... 1 more quick question: how to i save G code in CB for a 3d object? so Mach3 can read it? The *.cb file?

And i guess another question: if CB is not that good for 3d then what would be best 3D cam program to work with SW models? One that is easy to learn. Tnx!

Hi, i'm trying to learn how to mill simple 3D parts out of wax. I did sample model (knob) in SolodWorks, and i saved it as STL file. Then imported to CamBam to do G code but i dont really know what i am doing.
So maybe some one can help me out by pointing to video or text tutorial? So far I learned how to do 2D cuts with Mach3 now need to figure out how to cut SW models.
Thanks a lot for helping
