G-code is the widely used computerized numerical control programming language. It tells your router how fast and where to move to make a particular workpiece. Although you can write G-code manually, which may be practical for very simple projects, it is much easier to use a software solution that will translate your CAD design into G-code format. There are a number of software solutions available with varying advantages.

Aspire – Aspire by Vectric has a selection of powerful drawing tools that allow you to create vector texture and 3D models, perform mirror node editing, trim objects to vector boundary and create angled guidelines.

VCarve – Another Vectric software solution, this one incorporates 3D clip art, 3D import and assembly tools, toolpath options, and drawing tools.

Rhino 3-D – With this 3-d modeler you can create, edit, analyze, render, document, animate, and translate solids, surfaces, clouds, polygon meshes and curves. It is easy to use and versatile for large or small projects.
