- Unrivalled slicing performance: High speed slicing with great print quality
- Variable slicing settings: You can apply 40% infill at the base and 15% infill at the top, and change layer height at different heights in the model
- Advanced Multi-Part Printing: Even when printing multiple models at the same time, you can apply different settings for each model
Advanced Features:
- Intelligent support creation: You can create supports automatically, or add or remove them with the click of a mouse, or both!
- Variable slice settings: You can vary layer height, feed, speed, temperature and more within the one print job so you can achieve the perfect balance of speed and quality. With wood filament, you can vary the temperature during printing to create a wodgrain effect between layers

Due to the availability of other, more mature, low cost CAM packages, LazyCam development has ceased and it will remain in permanent Beta status. LazyCam is not intended – and not supported – for use in a production environment.
LazyCam is a BETA-release free importer included with Mach3. It’s purpose is to import standard dxf, cmx, and other file types to allow those that do not use CAM programs to more easily generate Gcode to be run under Mach3. The Basic (free) edition of LazyCam that is included with Mach3 carries no cost, but will only output 50 lines of gcode if Mach3 is running in Demo mode. There is an optional PRO level upgrade that turns on advanced features such as object offsetting, pocketing, etc. As the software is BETA, not all features are fully functional – please thoroughly test your files before purchasing a Pro license!
(Note: Requires the “.net 2.0 update” from Microsoft to prevent an error at startup.) More
We have released the 2nd version of Mach4. Check the availability of a motion control plugin for your device before buying.
Currently, motion control is available using our Parallel Port plugin (legacy license required). Vital Systems, PMDX, and CNC4PC all have great motion control boards with plugins for Mach4 available from the associated links.
Mach4 Information: Mach4 is our newest version of CNC motion control software. While the core software is completed, it will take time to complete all of the software plug-ins that allow Mach4 to communicate with specific hardware devices. OEM’s and equipment manufacturers that have committed resources to developing their software plug-ins, will be the first to take advantage of Mach4’s benefits. Much of the development of the plug-ins is completed by the manufacturer of the hardware.
Mach4 is completely new software and has less than 1% of the programming code in common with Mach3. It was written from the ground up to be expandable, flexible, and extremely responsive for use with very large files. While there was only one version of Mach3, Mach4 will be offered in different versions (not including the many customized OEM versions).ll need to purchase the parallel port legacy plugin. More
This plugin allows the use of the parallel port as a motion control device on supported computer systems with Mach4.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The LICENSE will only work for the Computer for which you supply the PC ID at checkout. Each PC has a unique ID code and the license works in coordination with this code. The PC ID for this plugin will be the same as the PC ID for Mach4 More
A full featured software version with greatly expanded customer support, including phone support for customers in a manufacturing environment where every second counts. The expected retail price is $1,000 – $2,000 depending on if/how we develop a service contract. More
These Addons require a licensed copy of Mach3 in order to function properly.
Mach3 Addons for Mill is a solution for using Mach3s wizard capability to simplify the creation of G-Code files. This package will minimize the time it takes to go from start to part. A demonstration version of the Addons is included in the default Mach3 installation. This version allows you to run through the actual wizards, chaining operations and generating toolpaths. It will not, however, generate a Gcode file. More
