    Nomad 883

    The Nomad 883 from Carbide3D includes MeshCAM,. Can the Nomad 883 also use MeshCAM Art?
    On the Carbide3D website, I couldn't find any contact information.

    Re: Nomad 883

    MeshCAM and MeshCAM Art are basically the same program, with a different license, so yes, it'll work.

    Also, their website mentions that their control can read g-code from ANY CAM program.

    If you have a favorite CAM program and work flow The Nomad 883 will work with it. Carbide Motion can read gcode from any CAM program so you’ll never be locked into proprietary software.

    When you get MeshCAM with a Nomad, there's an added "Auto Toolpath" plugin that makes it far easier to create a toolpath because MeshCAM knows a lot about the machine the toolpath is targetting. You aren't required to fill in all of the normal toolpath info.

    Hi Rob,
    I was interested in doing lithopanes, will MeshCAM that is included with the Nomad 883 work, or will I need MeshCAM Art?
    Thanks, Larry

    I've never done a Lithophane with MeshCAM, but I think the standard version would work fine.
