Open Source CNC Software

DXF2GCODE is a tool for converting 2D (dxf, pdf, ps) drawings to CNC machine compatible GCode. Windows, Linux, and Mac support by using python scripting language.

PLASMA TUBE 3D 2014 is developed for Plasma Pipe Cutting Machine. Goal is to provide easy way to calculate point coordinates for pipe (tube) cutting where each end of produced tube needs to fit to some round or planar surface (in most case, next step is welding produced tube to that surfaces). G CODE produced can be used directly (in most cases) as input to some CNC machine control software. Or you can easily use (cut&copy) calculated paths and use it in your own G CODE file. This application is portable, it does not write anything to registry (or anywhere else). This app does not 'phone home' or collect any user information in any way. Just download file and place it anywhere on HD (we recommend simple location like 'C:\Tube3D\...' or similar simple path.

Universal CNC for COM port. It's software to control CNC using arduino board(RC servo+Encoders). It has build in CAM software.

AVRCNC is a CNC-Controller based on an ATMega8 and some other (cheap) hardware. Main advantages compared to L297+L298 are: - simpler to build - easier to expand - mega8 controlls motors directly - no time-critical tasks on PC

CNC-Suite is an Free & Open Enviroment for 2D and 3D CNC-Machines

APTOS is an open source Apt translator project. It consists of several CAM applications, based on the Apt programming language. It is used to create control programs for cnc mills, lathes, water jets, lasers, and other industrial equipment.

PNG images & DXF files to CNC G code files

Now you can translate your vectorial and bitmap design data to your CNC machines! OpenCAM provides an interface where you can configure your CNC equipment and then export the file followiing it's commands! You can export PS,PDF,AI,EPS,DXF,SVG and Bitmap

A robotic DIY styrofoam cutter consisting of one rotational and two translational axes. It cuts a variety of shapes out of styrofoam-like materials using a hot wire. This project documents the necessary hardware and software parts. Don't miss the follow-up project at http://raumschaum.org Its goal is to further develop hardware and software into an user friendly application.

tkBacktracer is a cross-platform interactive visualization tool to explore the tool motions in RS-274D "G-code" CNC files used in computer controlled milling and manufacturing.
