There was a plan to move PyCAM into the LinuxCNC organisation (as a
Thanks for the advice.
You can just slap a GPL license on the code and dump it on GitHub but
it's not the best path forward because without an active community of
contributors, the project is likely to languish and die.
I'm very much aware of that. If it's going to die as open source I may

SheetCAM is WELL known among LinuxCNC and Mach3/4 users - especially in plasma
cutting. It works quite well and has more flexibility than many other CAM
programs of a similar nature.
I would be quite interested in helping maintain and improve it. Time to work on
it is the only problem, but I

SheetCAM is a dedicated, simple, CAM system for plasma, laser etc.
It can do 2.5D too, so is fairly useful for routers too.
I used it in the past (Linux ve

The problem with SheetCam is that I had to use Google to find out what it
is.Then I found the website and it is still not clear how I would use
it to convert my CAD files into g-code or if it would work for that. You
might want to describe the use cases and sample workflows that go from an

You can find an existing software project with some common traits and

Dear Les,
I've been using SheetCam since about May of 2017 and I have made 768
gcode files, mostly multiple different parts on a sheet. I'd guess that
the total number of parts is in the 10's of thousands at this point. I
have even coaxed it into doing a crude form of waterlining for 3D parts!
Hi all,
I'm intending to retire some time this year and I am trying to decide
what to do with SheetCam. One option that I'm seriously considering is
making SheetCam open source (GPL). If this is too off topic for this
list please tell me.
I really want to see SheetCam continue to be develope
