Need Help!- What software do you recommend for coverting 3D DXF to G-Code?

Hi,

I have a question. What software do you recommend to convert a 3D DXF file into G-Code?

I have used LazyCam for 2D work (simple cutting) and it was quite OK but I cannot find something (free or relatively cheap) to do 3D engraving using DXF to G-Code. I would appreciate if you can recommend me something for this (as simple as possible).

What are you using to create the .3D dxf's? What entities do they consist of? Can you post a sample .dxf, or a pic of what you want to do?

I have uploaded a .dxf file and 2 JPG renderings of the object I would like to create from a piece of wood. Mainly it's a sliced torus in this case (like a slice of bagel :-) )

I use MeshCAM. Vectric's Cut3D would work too.
