For 2-1/2 Axis milling projects try our Free CAM solutions HSMXpress, Inventor HSM Express, and Fusion 360.If you have a requirement for CAM programs, we highly suggest you try these products. The CAM programs in this section are highly recommended products, and include Mach3 post-processors. There is an optional PRO level upgrade that turns on advanced features such as object offsetting, pocketing, etc.Īs the software is BETA, not all features are fully functional – please thoroughly test your files before purchasing a Pro license! ArtSoft Recommended CAM Programs While Mach3 does come with Laz圜am for very simple tasks, it is recommended to use a full CAM program. The Basic (free) edition of Laz圜am that is included with Mach3 carries no cost, but will only output 50 lines of gcode if Mach3 is running in Demo mode. It’s purpose is to import standard dxf, cmx, and other file types to allow those that do not use CAM programs to more easily generate Gcode to be run under Mach3. Laz圜am is a BETA-release free importer included with Mach3. Laz圜am is not intended – and not supported – for use in a production environment. Due to the availability of other, more mature, low cost CAM packages, Laz圜am development has ceased and it will remain in permanent Beta status.
