Risto,
dxf2gcode will not get you 5 axis milling
If you use Rhino 3D there is MadCAM, (link on the rhino3d.com website
<http://www.rhino3d.com/resources/display.asp?language=&listing=460>).
The German Rhino agent FILOU has some more info stating that version 4.1
has 4 & 5 axis milling support.
This page <http://www.filou.de/madcam/> contains some information in
German. "Kostenlos testen" on the right means "Free trial" ;-), a link
to the 30 day Rhino 4.0 demo version is 3 lines below the bullet.
There are two videos on 4 and 5 axis milling. The narrator is a German
guy but the language is English. Looks promising and I am looking at
buying a Rhino/Penguin/Flamingo/MadCAM (totals around 2800 EUR) as soon
as I can afford it ...
There is more software available on both Windows and Linux. Mastercam
and EdgeCAM are examples of (expensive?) Windows software.
I am not a Linux CAD user (I stick to Embedded Linux, EMC and
web/file/mail-servers), all my CAD is done in Windows (sorry).
Regards,
Rob
