Pols,

2D is primarily for driving an XY axes only, can be for simple mills, lasers, punch presses and punch presses.

2.5D is for driving an XY and a Z axes set by stops, cams, etc where the codes that initiate changes can be done from CAM system via a post processor. You can still only contour in the XY because the Z axis has limited control.

3D is for driving an XYZ axes and can do contouring in three axes simultaneously and all axes can be controlled at the same time.

I hope this helps
