Post Processor for Art Cam

[mstych]

@Pinetoptees All gcode files uploaded through Easel require a post-processor. Easel doesn’t generate the toolpaths for gcode uploads, so you’ll need to generate the toolpaths and use the post-processor so they render correctly.

Pros and Cons of different Programs

Just my opinion save your money and get comfortable with the machine first. Easel is the meat and potatoes easy to learn and a good program to get your feet wet. then go for the free stuff (fengrave, fusion, halftoner, ect.) I use artcam, easel, and fusion equally they all have their place. artcam is great for organic shapes for my 3d wood carvings. Fusion is for more when i want to build a part or prototype something. Easel is the go to for many things and will always have a place in my shop do…

ArtCam Software

Does anyone know if ArtCam software will work on this machine? They don’t have an Xcarve post processor but can you use a standard Gcode output to work??
