hi All,

Looking for some feedback on software with the intention that i want to use it to build a CNC machine.

Right now looking for the best (near to free) software to do that. So far i designed 3d objects in OpenScad and
got away easily with that.

Main objective is to get an understanding how CNC looks like, detecting bugs easily, and post pictures and to whomever likes it the CAD files as well, so that i can use some community input what might or might not work building that specific frame setup.

CNC intended for building simple molds for injection molding machine for robotics parts (and that injection molding machine i might or might not build after this) and of course directly milling some robot parts as well (for prototypes), so it will be put in a closed cube type structure most likely. In short many ways to mess up without first putting the entire concept on a computer in a visible manner

FreeCad seems free. Any experiences using this?

Many thanks in advance,
Vincent Diepeveen
