Open Source CAM - Toolpath Generation for 3-Axis CNC machining

The EdytorNC project now consists of four applications that can be useful for programming and operating CNC machine tools. EditorNC is a specialised text editor for CNC programmers. FTPserver is a simple FTP server for transferring cnc programs to and from the machine. SerialPortFileServer is a simple server for transferring cnc programmes to and from the machine via RS232 ports. ProgramManager is a program that makes it easy to search for cnc programs based on, for example, part number, part name contained in the first three comments in the cnc program. Some EdytorNC features : bolt holes calculation; solutions of triangles calculation; speed, feed calculation; conversion inch/mm, mm/inch; code colouring; RS232 data transmission with automatic file saving and possibility to download new CNC program directly from machine (beta function, look in tool tips in serial port configuration dialog). Clipboard to keep texts from system clipboard.

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.

This Python 3.1 tool manipulates the coordinate system of CNC GCODE for machining or engraving. It can Flip X, Y, or Z coordinates, mirror X, Y, or Z coordinates, flip or Mirror both XY coordinates, or insert Z motions into a GCODE file devoid of them.

Command line tool to generate Gcode for CNC applications from DXF files. Originally written for 2-axis machines such as foam cutters, it now supports 3-axis machines.

Universal CNC (Computer Numerical Control) system with accompanying communication and graphics libraries

FTP BNC. File Transfer Protocol Bouncer. Allows Any one to setup a Bouncer to a ftp server. Uses, mask the real identity of a ftp server, provide link over lans running NAT or etc. Proxy and FXP modes. Commands, or commands and data in proxy, data in FXP

A tool for CNC toolpath generation. Model data in, G-Codes out. The system is kept as generic as possible. Machines with up to 9 axis can be defined. Machine simulator included.

XinCNC is a free software for Computer Numerical Control (CNC).

This is a utility to process and convert drl files to efficient g code, which will help in drilling PCBs using a CNC. The snapshots are based on the linuxcnc axis program to visualize the results of the program using different algorithms.

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.
