I'd place AlibreCAD on the list of "normal" or "modern" 3D CAD systems. Like a scaled down version of Fusion, or SolidWorks. The workflow you use is very conventional. Except AlibreCAD is "windows only" and not free.
What workflow do you use for getting AlibreCAD designs to the CNC mill? Does AlibreCAD have a CAM add-on or is there a 3rd party software. One of the things I like about Fusion is that it will directly make g-code for a mill or lathe. I would like to hear from others how they go about going from design to both printing and milling.
