If you are famillar with g-code and converting, then you can appreciate the time savings that LazyCAM offers.  With free converters, there is no rhyme or reason for the organization of the toolpaths.  LazyCAM will actually try to optimize the toolpaths so that the machine is making the most efficient cuts.  By purchasing the Mach3 software then the 50 line LazyCAM limit is removed, and by purchasing the LazyCAM Pro, there are many very convenient features that will be possible, like making pockets.  I highly recommend these software packages.  I am very selective with the products that I sell and when you buy from me, you are supporting my efforts to put tutorials on this site.  You will need to download the demo first and when you purchase, I will send you an email with the license file.  It's as easy as that!  Don't forget to review the demo installation video.

CAMBAM CAD and CAM Design Software

This is the essential software that assists in the design process.  Yes, you can design with this software and then translate it into toolpaths and it's the perfect companion to the Mach3 control software.
