Mach3 is widely accepted and supported software for controlling CNC machines large and small.
Converts a standard PC to a fully featured, 6-axis CNC controller
Visual Gcode display
Customizable M-Codes and Macros using VBscript
Support Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7 and 8. It is not available for MAC sorry.
If using a notebook it is recommended you use an extrenal motion controller to workaronud problems with the 64 bit parrallel port driver (click the More info button to read more on their website).
This software will be delivered by the internet - the license number will be emailed to you along with a link to the downloads. Then you install the software and drop the license key into the installation folder and you are away. More
Simplify3D® is Integrated 3D Printing Software
Harness the power of your 3D printer and move up to better quality prints with Simplify3D® Software.
Import, repair, slice, preview and print… all from one integrated desktop application.
Simplify the process AND improve the end result. Both are possible!
Features:
- Build print files for a huge range of printers - all from one application which has both a quick and easy basic option AND an advanced option with control of more parameters than we have seen in any other software
- Support for printers from Printrbot, Makerbot, FlashForge, XYZprinting (DaVinci), Solidoodle, Ultimaker, Leapfrog, Airwolf, Lulzbot, Tinkerine, BFB, Rapman, Cubify, MendelMax and more. Full list here
- 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

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
Powerful and intuitive, Photocentric studio software has been created to simplify the print experience.
Compatible with the majority of CAD files, Photocentric studio includes a suite of tools to support a variety of industries and applications. From novice to expert, studio delivers a user experience tailored to the knowledge of the operator. More
Photocentric Additive – Standard Package Digitial License
Jointly developed by Photocentric and CoreTechnologie, the innovative Photocentric Additive software suite has been specifically created for the LC Magna.
The software sets new standards enabling 3D models from all common CAD formats to be read and prepared for additive manufacturing processes directly as an exact, intelligent and light B-Rep geometry. More
Photocentric Additive - 3D Lattice Structure Add-on Digital License
3D lattice structure is available as an additional model and can be added to the standard package, allowing the user to transform any geometry into custom lattice.
Transforming models to a lattice structure can reduce material usage, hence cost and also offer improved mechanical properties. The models can be replaced fully with lattice structures. Users can selectively keep functional areas as the original geometry and lattice the non-critical surfaces. The software offers 16 different patterns for lattice structures – such as honeycomb, octet or centre point.
Note: Photocentric Additive Standard package is required More
