Thanks to all who wrote. I have emc installed on a way...way... too old and slow computer but I've been playing with it. I am mostly interested in using CNC to make shapes that would be almost impossible to machine by hand. I assume that will entail many more than 3 axis control. Can anyone recommend a book focused on this type of work. I hope to have a 3D scanner someday.
