    Which 3D CAM software for a newbie CAD and CNC hobbyist

    Currently, I don't know how to operate any 2D or 3D CAD CAM software. Now I want to learn a 3D CAM software to use with wood CNC router.

    Please suggest an easiest to learn and use 3D CAM software for a beginner like me. I also would like to use that software for advanced applications later in future.

    There are many names such as BobCAD-CAM, ArtCAM, Aspire, artclip3D etc.

    Fusion 360. It's free, powerful and has a very large user community to get help from.

    Lars Christensen is a great teacher for learning the basics of CAD/CAM
    You're going to have to put some hours in to get started.

    I took a year of CAD in Highschool ten years ago, and even though it stuck with me a bit, I have so much to learn now about Parametric Modeling.
