Hey everyone! I'm really new to CNC woodworking and I'm on the lookout for some solid software recommendations for design and toolpathing. I'm primarily working with MDF and would love to find something that's easy to pick up but also offers room for growth as I get better at this. Any suggestions?

I personally use VCarve Pro since I find it easier to grasp than Fusion 360. If you feel overwhelmed by the complexity of Fusion, VCarve is user-friendly and there's even a trial version available if you want to try it out first.
You should definitely check out Fusion 360! It integrates CAD and CAM really well, and I promise you won't regret learning it. I've tried several CAM software options, and Fusion is the best by far. Plus, if you're just using it as an individual and not for a business, you can get it for free!
Thanks a lot for the advice! I’ve heard good things about Fusion 360, but it’s great to get a personal recommendation.
Haha, I get you! Fusion 360 CAM gave me a headache too. Good to hear VCarve Pro is easier; I’ll give it a look! Appreciate the heads up!
