- Transforming an idea into an actual part is a 3-step process: CAD (see “What is CAD?”) –> CAM (see “What is CAM?”) –> Control. Mach3/Mach4 is the control part of the process and requires G-code files produced by a CAM or Wizard program.
- Wizard programs are the most simple for those new to cnc.
- Advanced users/machinists will often write their own gcode.
