| Depends what you mean by simple. Alibre Xpress is free, and pretty easy to learn. You might also want to look at Silo. www.nevercenter.com

| Also, easy to learn for some may be nearly impossible to learn for others.

| I only use SolidWorks myself so I really can't give you too much advise. SolidWorks is great, but expensive and more suited to complicated parts and assemblies. The learning curve is also very unforgiving. Still, you can import it into Vectric's Cut 3D. |

| Whatever you do, download and try demos before buying. Rhino has an excellent demo and isn't too much to buy (relative to other packages). Check out Novedge, they're selling the educational version for $145! |

| Hi everybody. I'm using Solidworks at the moment to create simpl 3D models to try the works. Is it possible to use CAMworks to create Gcode to MACH3 software? or does anyone have some ideas for CAM and machining SW? |
