Re: Stus-List A Different CNC inquiry
Stu: My CNC is a Shapeoko 3XXL. I use Vectric Aspire as my main design software. Vectric has a few versions (Vectric Desktop, Vectric Pro, Vectric Aspire). It is one of the most versatile options out there, but pricey. I have a laser attachment and use Lightburn for any laser work.

Re: Stus-List A Different CNC inquiry
It looks like your machine is a 2D machine. If so, you may be able to use Lightburn software, which we are using on our Laser cutter. We have a large flatbed laser cutter which has a Ruida controller but Lightburn says it can handle other types of controllers as well.

Fusion 360 is the way to go. Pretty intuitive and free for non-commercial use. Aaron R.

Re: Stus-List A Different CNC inquiry
Hi Stu, I've been working with Fusion 360 for for toolpath generation a few years, after trying Solidworks and Mastercam, and I find it much more intuitive and pretty easy to use. It's published by Autodesk, who sells Autocad, and it's free if you're not using if for commercial work. Be happy to talk offline if you want more detail.
