3040 3 axis engraving software
Hi i have hand routed some signs to a certain degree of competence but i wanted to try and venture into a CNC machine. I bought a 3040 3axis engraving/router, i know absolutely nothing about CNC programing, i have managed to put the machine together and i have mach3 installed but no cad or cam software i was wondering if someone could point in the direction i need to go regading what i need and the simpler the better

Welcome aboard.
I tried Fusion360 but just couledn't get a grasp on it. It is free to use for sales under $100K/yr.
I settled on Vectric's VCarve Desktop, but soon upgraded to the Pro version. You can download the trial version and test it out to see if you like it. I seem to get better each day. Like you, I had no CAD/CAM or programming experience.
Check out the tutorial videos on You Tube.
