I am excited to take in knowledge from expertise,. Recently; I explored CNC machining. Could someone suggest a CAD program for beginners,?
I want something that is easy to use, and strong enough to handle complex work.
Not sure it’s a duplicate thread because the other one is around 3D carving.
For a general CAD program, I would definitely suggest to learn Fusion 360. It has a learning curve but there is a ton of very well done tutorial online. It’s also free for a personal (limited) usage so it’s a good software to start.
I would not recommend it for 3D carving but for everything else it’s my go to software.
Other thread was asking about both. Rhino for modeling/fusion for cam is the my favorite combo. Fusion is too limiting for creative geometry IMO compared to rhino.
Easier and faster than anything else I could find www.moi3d.com
I use this as my main program for 2d and 3d work …to cnc or 3d printer or to Blender for rendering.
Best $300 I spend.
Then I bought this course Moi3D BASICS TUTORIAL (gumroad.com)
I tried many…fusion, Rhino, freecad, Alibre etc …I even draw my 2d in MOI3D and then send to vcarve for the toolpaths.
