LinuxCNC is the first choice for the control software on this machine. This is stable and has been used successfully in this application many times. MachineKit, a recent fork of LinuxCNC, is not ready for servo based milling machines. Perhaps it will be useful for this project in the future. | |||

As a maker space, we have free access to Inventor products. They have two products with CAM capabilities: InventorCAM and Fusion360. | |||
