Open Source Linux 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.

CAELinux is an installable live (USB) Linux distribution dedicated to open source engineering with a focus on Computer Aided Engineering and Scientific Computing. Based on Ubuntu, it features a ready to use workstation environment for open source product development, makers and scientist with many CAD/CAM/CAE applications for mechanical design, stress analysis, heat transfer, flow simulation and CNC manufacturing / 3D printing as well as electronic design tools and a complete development environment for scientific computing & mathematical modeling. A special focus of CAELinux is to provide simplified interfaces to facilitate the use of specialized open source software while providing high performance parallel multiphysics solvers ready to use for more advanced users. Try CAELinux or carry it with you on a USB stick in a live environment or install it to turn your PC into a full fledged Ubuntu based CAE workstation. It's all up to you what you can do with it!

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

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.

Software script assembly to be executed on cnc machines and robots to build, maintain and replicate open source fablab. Here software meets hardware.

CamelCAM will allow the user (in time, when/if fully functional) to load CAD 3D geometry objects from DXF, IGES and possibly other file formats, choose a particular CNC machine model, set needed parameters and then generate an ISO program suited for that CNC machine, capable of milling/lathing the selected piece.

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.

Use cppcam to generate great art with your CNC router. 1. import model 2. position model with resize or align 3. Add toolpaths as needed and configure each with: a. set tool size b. set stock area (work area) c. configure the path(s) for the chosen toolpath type

A small program for quickly generation of g-code. It can generate circular pockets, square pockets, etc. Now it can generate program from DXF. You can support a development with donation on my paypal page www.paypal.me/alexdevisa Небольшая программа для генерации G-кода. Может генерировать различные карманы, а так же поддерживает генерацию G-кода из файла DXF. Поддержать проект можно пожертвованием любой суммы на моей странице paypal - www.paypal.me/alexdevisa
