Hi,
I recently discovered the Carvewright system and... it certainly looks nice.
Since I wanted to build my own CNC-router... I already did some research in
the last year.
I don't know whether it's a problem in the forums search-engine, I can't
find any standard CNC-terms like CAD, CAM, DXF and G-Code, although I did see the word "CAD" in several msgs. If I would buy a CNC-router, I'd rather not be limited to the carvewright-software, so I wonder, is it possible to use the machine with other CAD/CAM-software ?
I may also want to use the machine for creating Printed Circuit Boards, a search on PCB unfortunately returned no results as well.
Could someone tell me more ?
Thanks in advance, best wishes
Bart Derks.
