Newbie here. After I create a DXF file which program will convert it to a TAP file(G code) so i can cut it with the Pro. Thanks in advance.

Fusion (free) or sheetcam ($150).

Does the new FireControl software do any
conversions or is it just for cutting operations?

just for cutting… it’s basically replacing Mach3 for the Pro.

thanks for the info. Im currently using cutshop for all my DXF layouts then import it into the dynatorch software to create the TAP . So when i get the Pro I will need to learn a new program. Is one more friendly then the other (fusion/Sheeetcam)…?

Sheetcam is extremely user friendly, and 100x more versatile than Fusion. More than worth the $150
