Hi all
I have found out lots about the mechanical parts so to speak, but on contacting vendors they just send a list of software needed, but no explanation of what does what.
I have turbocad 15 pro which does both 2d and 3d design and saves in loads of file formats, so is this software ok to design the stuff I want to route out?
If I understand Mach 3 correctly, this is needed to run the machine, but I've kind of gathered you need software to convert the turbocad files to files to run the router, which is the bit that's unclear.
Also what runs the router as in can I just plug it into my spare laptop and run it from that, or does it need a dedicated something else to run it.
Many thanks for your help.
J Don
