Well, a google search on "open source cam software" turns up a few items:
openscam: appears to be a g-code simulator and not a CAM package at all blendercam: plug-in for Blender. HeeksCNC: looks promising, imports dxf and step files. makercam: online app pycam: python scripts, uses dxf, svg, or stl files The wiki has a list of programs too: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Cam I haven't used any of these, so can't make recommendations. Perhaps others can chime in, as the wiki seems to be a bit dated. -- Ralph ________________________________________ From: toolznglue [toolzng...@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Sunday, April 20, 2014 6:53 PM To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Emc-users] Fwd: Tool Shape What are some of the open CAM software packages that are available?
