Re: Free CAMsoftware

I tried DesKAM just now and I don't really like it. I couln't figure it out. I found this pretty cool web-based flash CAM program http://www.ezcam.com/web/tour/webbased_ezcam.asp You don't have to download or install anything. Just make sure you have a fast internet connection. The nice thing about this one is that it will just give you the plain text G-code at any time you want. The only problem is I don't have a good way to visually see what the machine will be doing. Are there any free G-code simulators out there?
