I am looking to now purchase software for my cnc machine. It is a 4 axis machine. Here are some things that I am looking for in the software.
User friendly.
I want to beable to mill 3d status. Example, GI Joe figure.
Ability to import basic files, like JPG, BMP, etc...
Database of basic designs already stored.
I looked at the Mach3 extensively and was ready to buy, but found other companies that has software as well. I did look at the other companies, but it didn't have as much info as the Mach3 site did. Any one have experience with other software?
Thanks,
Travis

Mach3 is machine control software. You're probably looking for CAM software, as well as CAD maybe. look at www.meshcam.com, and www.deskproto.com for 4 axis CAM.
