| Deskcnc users, what CAM software are you using with this controller? I am trying to decide what CAD/CAM package to use with my Deskcnc controller. I am trying to decide between the Rhino CAD/CAM or the Onecnc XR express package. Both seem nice for the price although I have not yet done the online demo for Onecnc. I have been using the Rhino CAD evaluation and find it as advertised,Intuitive and powerful at a good price. I see that Rhino/Visual Mill offers a 4th axis plugin for about $500. This has me leaning toward the Rhino/VM package. Being new to this I am unsure of compatibility (postprocessor?) and or support with my Deskcnc controller. Anyone using the above mentioned CAD/CAM with Deskcnc? Again, I hope I posted this is in the right place. Thank you, Chuck.    |

| Either software packages you mentioned can interface with DeskCNC. Your software supplier should give you a post processor free of charge (if they have quality service). I have a customer using visual mill with deskcnc just fine, he sent a sample program to the visual mill distributor and had a post within 24hrs. Good choice using deskcnc, great product!

| Thank you Dave, The Deskcnc should be 'easy' enough to write a nice post processor for because it (Deskcnc) uses a nice collection of the G and M codes that are so common right? It's always nice to hear these things from Independant persons. I don't mind salespeople it's just that sometimes they can be a bit anxious to say "oh yeah nooo problem" and since I don't really know what the heck I'm doing yet..Anyway Thanks again Dave, I'm looking forward to the continued development of the Deskcnc products  |
