After I installed it as my default post, it spit gcode files that just ran and worked every time. One of the moderators on the CamBam forum went out and looked at the version of GRBL flashed to my machine, modified the GRBL post processor for me and just said here ya-go, and posted it for me to download. I was pulling my limited supply of hair out one line of gcode at a time. My Router is GRBL, and there was a problem with how it interpreted arcs that through errors on about everything I wrote. The biggest problem I had with CamBam was with the default GRBL post processor, and that was probably more related to my version of machine hardware/firmware. I haven't used it myself, but I have heard many others make similar comments about MeshCam very intuitive and within a few hours you'll be running simple programs. For the money and one time license fee, CamBam seems pretty hard to beat for the lower end CAM packages. There are a couple moderators there that answer all levels of questions, usually within an hour.incredibly helpful for me as a beginner. I'm very happy with it, and wow, I've never seen a more responsive user forum. I have built my collection of tools and software up over many years. All of these software packages cost money but you can get everything done with freeware using and.

It has limited but adequate CAD/drawing capability, but there are a lot of plugins available for free downloads. I used Cubify Design CAD software, converted to gcode with CamBam and used Mach3 for the actual CNC machine control. I'm yet to use 3D cutting but that is on the near horizon. Andiamo avanti con lanalisi dei software a pagamento che cii consentono di creare il gcode per la nostra cnc. I use it for 2/2.5D work on my CNC Router, primarily for cutting lost foam casting patterns. I wanted to get up and cutting and several acquaintances recommended CamBam.

If you're starting from scratch, couple that with gcode and machine interface and you've got a full plate. I have fusion and though it's a great value in an integrated CAD/CAM package, it's a fairly steep learning curve and if you're only an occasional user, I can't remember all the where's/hows for more complex modeling.but still working at it.
