The turning function area offers you External and internal roughing Finishing Puncture Thread turning Cross-planning Drilling for most types of turned parts. Flexible Tool Path Editor. The Tool Path Editor gives you better tool paths and better editing efficiency without tediously adjusting parameter settings and continuously recalculating the tool paths.
Post-Processing: The Post Processor. Machine Simulation: First Check. Check the movements of your 3-axis, 4-axis, or 5-axis machines in advance. Detect any collisions between material, tools and other machine components at an early stage. Test possible multi-axis tensions and find the ideal clamping position for your machining jobs.

As far as simplifying g-code, GW Editor is the shizzle for that too. It tells you what each line of g-code does in Simple English in a little hint window. Tons of schools are using it because it works to help students understand g-code faster.

Fusion is free for non-business users and some small business users. Back to Homepage. Shop All Our Products. So check out our free stuff! Vector image formats are supported by CAM software programs that create G-code. Inkscape allows you to download and install plug-ins to create G-code from within the software eliminating the need for additional CAM software.
Inkscape is a popular design software, and the official website has many tutorial videos to get you started. Furthermore, you can find videos on YouTube to guide you through your design works. OpenBuilds is a CNC manufacturing company that started as an online community supporting the open-source maker movement. OpenBuilds CAM is a web-based software and requires you to have an active internet connection to use the software. The bright side is all the processing is done on the server-side, and you do not need to install heavy software that bogs down your computer.
On the support end, the huge community of users have a solution to all of your problems and are prompt in guiding you through troubleshooting. It is a simple and easy-to-use software best suited for hobbyists looking for free software to use with their CNC machines. The free version has some limitations compared to the paid version but has enough capabilities and features for most hobbyists.
It can run simulations based on G-code and machine parameters like machine size, type of tool, and workpiece position. Instead, they work based on the control signals they receive. This software directly generates the control signals for controlling CNC machines and sends them to the machine parts via breakout boards. It is a control software developed based on the open-source Linux platform making it free to use and modify. LinuxCNC is a popular machine control software that has been around for a long time and is the root of several control software programs like the popular Mach 3 software.
You can control up to nine axes using LinuxCNC control software. To perform such feats, you need to have good data transfer speeds between the computer and the machine. LinuxCNC uses parallel ports to communicate with the machine as parallel ports are significantly faster than USB ports in transmitting instructions.
If your computer does not have a parallel port, you can use ethernet breakout boards to interface your CNC machine and computer using an ethernet cable. Using an ethernet card aids you in hardware step generation and encoder counting, which is not possible using parallel port interfacing. As it is an open-source platform, several customized versions are available that add certain functionalities or tweak the user interface and appearance. LinuxCNC supports pendant control, and it also allows you to interface touchscreen controllers easily.
LinuxCNC has a built-in interface to post questions to the forum page directly for solutions. The large online community is quite active and helpful.
A standalone G-code sender does not directly control the machine. Rather it does so via the controller on the machine. The processor speed will impact how fast the software will calculate and complete tasks. With each release, more and more aspects of Mastercam are becoming multi-core processor aware. Toolpath calculation and Simulation will generally run faster with a multi-core processor. When Mastercam uses all available RAM, it switches to using virtual memory space, which is stored on the hard drive, and will dramatically slow the system down.
We recommend a minimum of 8 GB memory. When purchasing a new computer for Mastercam, one of the most important component is the video card. Other graphics cards can be used, but they must offer full OpenGL 3. OpenCL is required for Mastercam to be able to hand off certain computation tasks to the graphics card to increase system performance.
We do not recommend or support the use of onboard graphics found with some PC configurations. These do not generally have the capability to drive graphics intensive applications such as Mastercam. Make sure you are using up-to-date drivers from your card manufacturer. We often see issues that are resolved with updated video drivers.
The driver version can have a great impact on how the card performs. We recommend using the automatic detect feature to detect which video card is installed. More information on configuring the graphics card can be found at this Mastercam knowledge base article.
