I am using Fusion 360 because I’m cheap. I don’t know if the learning curve is worth the amount of money I’m saving. It is powerful, but it is bulky and not intuitive if you don’t come from a CAM/CAD background.
?
any experience with onefinity ? if you could choose another equally priced machine ,would you trade ?

I’ve had a OneFinity for a few years and really like it. I’m not sure what else an equally priced machine would get me that I don’t have now. I upgraded to a spindle and that was a huge difference.
Welcome to CNC Startups! Introduce Yourself! 🎉
I’m Ryan, the founder of this group and a passionate CNC entrepreneur. I’m super excited to have you all here. This community is all about helping each other grow, learn, and create with CNC machines—whether you’re just starting or looking to take your skills to the next level. Here’s a little about me: - I’ve been working with CNC machines for 10 years, building a business and helping others do the same. - My favorite thing about CNC is turning a simple design into a product that people love. - Fun fact: I love Bourbon and Tequila, and have over 100 bottles in my collection/stash Now it’s your turn! In the comments, let us know: - Your name and where you’re from - What stage are you at in your CNC journey (just starting, hobbyist, business owner, etc.)? - What you’re most excited to create or learn with CNC - A fun fact about yourself! Looking forward to getting to know everyone and seeing what amazing projects we’ll create together!

I’m Kurt Ehlert, a semi-retired orthopaedic surgeon from Raleigh, NC. I’ve had a CNC for several years now and learning more all the time. I have a OneFinity and use Fusion 360 for CAM and CAD. I’ve decided to get serious about an Etsy business and am starting The Articulated Workshop. I ran across Ryan’s videos and this group. Excited to keep learning.
