Another Cam Program

[Don Baer]

here is another CAM tool for your arsenal... it seems to handle graphic fairly well......https://www.deskproto.com/
has most post processors and with the limited amount of testing I have done fairly easy to use. It will work with .jpg .stl and .png files as well as .dxf.

I have that one.

I think it handles FULL 3D 4-th axis stuff better than Aspire

It's $1000 for a full commercial license but less for a hobbyist

yes that was one of the things that I noticed.

BUT ---- it doesn't give a preview of the 3D after toolpath.

that is true not like your used to but it does show you the material to be removed and indicates any conflicts by a color change.
