QCAD/CAM versus QCAD - Sheetcam
Posted: Thu Jun 05, 2014 12:02 am
Hello All. I am deciding whether or not to purchase the CAM Add-On. Can anyone give me some advice?
We are a very small machine shop making gardening tools on a tight budget. We currently use QCAD Pro for .dxf, then Sheetcam to produce the G-code for our Arclight Dynamics plasma table. If we spring for the CAM, what kinds of changes/improvements should we expect in our process? And, importantly, how complicated/challenging will it be to set up CAM so it makes G-code that our table can use?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
