Hi,

I have a novamill running vr milling, but I dont have any software to write the code. Are there any programs that stand out as being good. I know denford's quickcam pro will prob be the answer but im a private individual so i dont think i can get hold of a copy. im happy to buy software if needed.

thanks for any help.
Giles

Private individuals can purchase Denford software.

Quickcam Pro can import, .STL, JPG, JPEG, BMP etc but you cannot draw / design in it, it converts the files to a G and M code program that will run on VR Milling that controls your machine.

There are also lots of possibly cheaper alternatives for the hobbyist.
