CNC from China VS Europe
Quote from fbecker971 on 8th April 2026, 7:58 pmHi everybody. I'm a woodworker / Cabinet maker working in Guadeloupe ( French Caribbean Island). In order to expand my activity and improve the quality of my work, i'm planning to purchase a CNC machine (1525 or 1530). I had several contact with Chinese brand like Blue elephant or Nextor, however i found on several forums, reports of issues of compatiblity between Fusion 360 or Vcarve pro and the controllers of thoses CNC. What is your opinion (especially you Dan since you have a blue elephant CNC) ?
In advance Thank's for your replies

In the initial stages you will need to find the right post processor to "speak your machines language" but once this is established you should be fine. Both Fusion and VCarve should be able to talk to near enough any CNC machine with the exception possibly of some very old machines.
