    CAD/CAM Softwear Downloads

    Greetings,

    Does anyone know a source of free or "Student Version" CAD/CAM downloads?

    I am in the process of building my CNC machine and want to get used to drawing with a 3D cad Program now that can be used to guide the CNC. I use a 2D drawing program at the moment.

    Thanks

    The toolpath for the first item I produced on my homebuilt CNC was produced with G-Simple. It is free and can be downloaded from here http://www.gsimple.gr/

    thanks for the tip.

    Also, I found a pretty good source myself. It is from Autodesk the makers of Autocad:

    http://students3.autodesk.com

    there are 25 free softwear programs available for download. The softwear program called "Inventor" is the one that I am trying to learm now.
