Software recommendation for Techno-Isel 4848LC

[KIE7]

Hi there,

I'm about to place an order for a Techno-Isel 4848LC with 4th Axis Attachment. Still not decided on the software...
I was wondering if somebody could make some recommendations or share some experience on the following programs:

Visual Mill Pro 6.0
EnRoute3 Pro
MasterCam X2

The manufacturer of the router recommends EnRoute, but I hear a lot about MasterCam...?

We will be fabricating models and prototypes in HD foam, various Plastics and Wood. Most files will come from Rhino.

Thanks for your input.

I use Artcam and am in love with it. I can do more with my LC4896 than I thought was ever possible! And it loads files from Rhino! I have Mastercam as well but it is soooo confusing compared with Artcam.
Artcam might cost more, but boy, it was worth it!

Are you going to be able to get your Techno serviced ?If you can you are definitly not in the southeast.

Its easy enough to service yourself. Techno can provide you all the schematics. In fact, I had to strip my LC4896 back to the steel frame in order to get it in my basement! It took 2 people 3 hours to strip everything off the machine and 3 hours to get it back together and aligned up! It was a monster to move!
