    Question BEST g-code generator

    Hello friends. I am a beginner in the machining area. I will build a CNC router for wood designs (Embossed Wood). Once I have the CAD model, must trace the trajectory of the cutting tool, which is the g-code. To my knowledge, this g-code is inserted into Mach3 and Mach3 runs g-code. Is there some automatic (g-code) generator for three-dimensional CAD drawing (x, y, z)? If yes, what is the best (regardless of being paid or for free)?




    3D example model:

    Re: BEST g-code generator

    Everyone will have their own opinion of what is best.
    Two common ones are MeshCAM and Cut3D.
