    I'm brand new to cnc, so I'm sure i'm missing something but wow... I created everything cradle to grave with the 123d suite of online applications. I just tried it out last week. 123d design to create a simple sign. I exported to 123d cnc utility. It creates the toolpaths based on stock size, tool size/type etc., simulates everything then generates the g-code.

    Never used a cnc machine before. I'm really impressed with this, really simple to use. just a little scared that it won't catch on, they'll pull the plug on it and I'll end up having to learn an actual cam program. I can't seem to find a forum with people using this product. I guess it's new but after sifting through the cad/cam forums here and trying to make heads or tails of the workflow for all the different combinations of cad/cam software, I found this set of products the easiest to actually create something.
