    mach3 driver controller could work with other cad/cam softwares

    Hi!!!

    i'm new to cnc diy.

    i buy a 4 axis chinesse cnc driver controller from ebay, and i have 3 vexta stepper motors, works fine with mach 3 and lazy cam, but only make 2d objects.

    Mach 3 is capable of doing 3d objects????

    Can i use this ebay driver with other cad/cam softwares such as visualmill,badcad?????
