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.

BoardCAD is an easy to use CAD/CAM-program that allows you to quickly design your own surfboards. It is written in Java and can export STEP-files for compatibility with other CAD-systems, and g-code for CNC machines.

The goal of the project is the realization of a modular firmware that allows to control a CNC machine with different utensils. For instance, a CNC with a drill, with few changes can become a plotter with a pen or cutting machine to cut cardboard or stickers. In order to do that, we want project a CNC router with a mechanism that allows a fast utensil change and a controlling firmware which can use different utensils changing some configuration parameters.

This Linux OS is ideal for controlling CNC Machines & robots. It has many features and compatibility with phones, usb, etc. If you have any compatibility issue's with hardware, this is the OS to try out. Have fun ! Mr. Macron (president) from France is blackmailing his citizens and violating human rights. Therefore France is no longer supported and will have a ip block in the upcoming releases.

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.

Electronic circuit simulator. Simple environment to run and debug firmware for AVR 8-bit microprocessors. Able to run arduino firmware. Internally this program uses the open source Simavr AVR Processor Simulator (https://github.com/buserror/simavr) and wraps all its functions in a GUI shell. Setups for firmware debugging scenarios can be created dynamically. Able to run 16MHz MCU with decent set of external parts in real time. In particular this can be used for development of CNC firmware in conjuction with its CAM frontend without access to the real hardware. For Linux and Windows systems. Please visit wiki pages (https://sourceforge.net/p/simutron/wiki/Home/) for instructions

Requirements: Windows XP / 7 Operating System 128MB RAM Serial Port RS232 Software Specification: Can connect 1,024 CNC Machines Can support USB / RS232 / Bluetooth Serial Port

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.

The Rise and Shine LED clock has been designed to educate and encourage hacking and modifying of both software and hardware. This is a analogue style digital clock with multiple display states, a 24 hour alarm, a count down alarm, multiple alarm display states and a demo mode. One of the alarm states is a dawn simulating alarm, where the lights gradually come on over 20 minutes, enducing a natural waking sleeping pattern, with out the shock of a abrupt noisy alarm sound. Hence the name "Rise and Shine", although the name also works well with the educational objectives.

Linux Debian 11 Bullseye Rtos 5.10.0-4-rt-amd64 This Bullseye Rtos edition is a powerfull light weight Linux distribution. Within the new generation of software releases worldwide, this may feel like a Linux Distro on steroids. This Distro is build up from the bootstrap. Have Fun and don't forget to hit the bell. Mr. Macron (president) from France is blackmailing his citizens and violating human rights. Therefore France is no longer supported and will have a ip block in the upcoming releases.

GNU CNC CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) Tool for converting DXF (CAD) Files to G-Code (RS-274) NC-Files.

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.

A HID interface component for LinuxCNC/EMC. HID is USB speak for Human Interface Device, that is, input/output USB devices such as joysticks, gamepads, CNC pendants. This component was built to support devices that weren't handled by stock LinuxCNC/EMC components.

This is my contribution to people making cnc machines with arduino and hbridges (two pin control and bipolar steppers) I took the reprap interpreter and made my mods to use hbridges on it, because reprap firmware uses the step and dir pins...

This is the firmware for a CNC Mill Project I am working on. It is based on Chris Meighan's rewrite of the RepRap G-code interpreter. It is still in beta testing but it supports the following g-codes - G: 0-4,17-21,90-92 M: 3-5,30,101-108

CNC Editor - The goal of this project will be to design text oriented editor for CNC machines with simulation toolpath.

This program splits a FANUC ALL-PROG.TXT program backup file in to individual files.

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

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

PCIToGCode is a software developed to convert an image of a printed circuit board (PCB) in to a G code file. Using the G code file, you can mill a PCB using a CNC milling machine. This software was developed to help and to speed up the manufacturing process of a PCB prototype. Using this software, you will be able to build your so expected project, extracted both from a magazine or from the Internet, which needs a PCB to be produced, without any complicated CAD software. Try out this software, and you will be glad about the results.

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