While it may be free, it’s a very high quality software that’s ideal for hobbyists and professionals alike. If you haven’t checked out the Fusion 360 guides for modeling perfect fretboards and complete guitars, now would be a good time for that.įinally, if you’re just looking for some inspiration to get CNCing with, check out the guitar template archive.FreeCAD is completely open source CAD and CAM software that’s free to all users. In the meantime, if you’re having trouble with your CAM process (creating toolpaths), I recommend this YouTube tutorial for Fusion 360 beginners. All that will have to wait for another tutorial – but at least you’re connected and ready to go. Obviously, we’ve glossed over a lot of the important pieces regarding how to properly program your toolpaths and select the right tools for the job, ensure you can stop and change your tools when needed, etc etc. All you need to do now is make a model and program the toolpaths in Fusion, use the Post-Process option to export it to gCode using the Easel post-processing file provided, open your gCode sender and connect to your X-Carve to send the code. If you’ve loaded in your post-processing file, imported your Inventables tool library, and you have a gCode sender downloaded, then you’re ready start working.

They are definitely recommended – you can purchase them in their official shop. They also have colored depth collars which will not only make your tool programming process a little easier, but it’s also much easier to identify and organize them.
