    G-code generator for SW and Mach3

    I was wondering if any one had any advice on picking a g-code generator for SolidWorks and Mach3?

    I currently have a 4X8 table router and have Lazy Cam loaded on it. I would like to do some 3D carving out of wood and eventually will put on a 4th rotating axis to carve out solid 3D shapes.

    Can anyone suggest software that would be good for this 3D application.

    Thanks,

    WM.

    BobCAM. It came out recently, and is on sale for a low price. Great features, fully integrated in to SolidWorks. It is better than BobCAD.

    I am sure I will get bashed for suggesting it, but I find their products a great value. I would suggest not giving them your real phone number, as they call incessantly, but the software is worth putting up with that.
