Dear Friends, As a senior citizen I'm in need of some enlightment in this area. For example I currently have a small CNC Sherline BDI - EMC machine mill. Here's the situation as best I can input it. This is my first attempt at cnc. Been trying to find some good cost effective cad & cad/cam jewelry design software that will give 3d & up to 4 axis design.
Come across more window based software than linux. I think our linux community will eventually take care of this, maybe it has already but I haven't discovered where??? right now I haven't much choice. Is there some way that these Windows programs can be made to run on the EMC? I'd rather like linux but I'm afraid that I may have to go to a windows base jewelry design program and have to go with another machine controller. :-( I've heard of WINO or is It WINE. But I don't get it. Any assistance or suggestions by this list would be very much appreciated. BTW it has been suggested that two pcs needed for system. One for the design program & one for running the mill. Maybe a dual boot system would work? Nice to be here with EMC. Thanks again!
