For many years I have had a German made cnc router Eas440 with NCEasy machine control software and VectorCAD/CAM program. The software is 2D and 2.5D, and I have been very pleased with the unit. But now I would like to upgrade it to 3D and add the fourth axle to the machine.
What kind of CAD and CAM software would be suitable & reasonably priced and easy to learn for an elderly retired hobbyist? And which kind of control electronics together with the fourth axle would work with those software?
I am building car and ship models just for my hobby, so there is no need for any "high end" soft & hardware.
