Hello all,

I'm throwing myself in at the deep end and I have an awful lot to learn.

I know I want to use a CNC machine to work with acrylic and eventually I would also progress to a laser cutter, I know absolutely nothing else.

I'm a quick learner and I think I'm in the right place. I'm ok at basic photoshop and I'm hoping that CAD software could also be learnt. Does anyone have any recommendations as where to start? Quitting is not an option.

Is there any good free software that I can have a tinker about on to start with?

Nice to meet you all and thanks for any help.
