Hi everyone
Just started on this journey of trying to find a reasonably priced CAM product. Am evaluating the CAM plugin but find there is no preset configuration for Mach3 Mill!!

. So my question is how to configure
the CAM plugin to generate g-code compatible with Mach3 Mill ?

Any help gratefully received

Regards
Mike

In the "CNC System" you can choose to use the Fanuc controller. That is what I started with & tweaked it a bit. Here is my Mach3 Mill configuration file. Just unzip the file into you "Cam/CodeSystems" directory. (the default for TC18 - C:\Program Files\IMSIDesign\TCWP18\CAM) the default for v15 should be similar.

Great kmartin. Many thanks for the file. This will speed up the learning curve so much! I have to finish designing the machine,finish getting the items, build, calibrate and learn how to operate the CAM
learning how to operate the machine!
