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 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 Windows only 2.5D CAD CAM application. The user experience tightly integrates the CAM aspects when doing design and layout. The target users will layout their design and then immediately generate CNC code. The goal is a design application closer to Adobe Illustrator than to AutoCAD. The user specifies machining aspects during object creation so that when the design/layout phase is completed the toolpath generation can occur automatically. What is 2.5D? Objects created are flat (2D) but have a depth component. So you can create a square that will be machined at a specific depth but the depth will be constant accross the square. It is not/does not: A general purpose CAD (AutoCAD) type program. Support reference dimension on the drawing. Export or import major CAD file formats.

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.

Online Version: An online version of this simulator is being developed at http://cloudcnc.in. The online version doesn't require any download - simply write/edit your code and simulate it side by side! CNC Simulator is a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) lathe machine simulator. It simulates the path that the tool of a CNC lathe would take for a given program. The simulation is two-dimensional. with provision for final view in 3D using OpenGL.

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

CNC code generator is a software to generate CNC codes (G & M codes) for maching operations like milling, drilling. At present CNC code generator is limited for end milling. we working on other machining operations like turning, drilling etc.

Arduino firmware and Java GUI for the Hydra Multi-headed Manufacturing Machine (Hydra-MMM). The Hydra is a cartesian positioning system that has multiple, independent toolhead mounts for a wide variety of attachments. See: cpwebste.blogspot.com

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.

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.

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.

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

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

This Application assists the usage for CNC threading, especially the Mach3 software. The threading cycle uses the G76 command with some parameters. This program lets the user select from hundreds of predefined or free definable thread standards and calculates the parameters for the Mach3 command line. So, essentially just select your thread, calculate it, copy & paste the result to a GCode file, hit "Cycle start" and you get exactly what you want. Also included is a little tool to calculate the pitch diameter of a thread based on a measurement with three wires. Supports the threading standards M, G, R, BSW, BSF, UNC, UNF, UNEF and tapered Pipe R/Rc and Metrical threads. New: NPSM, NPT, NPTF, NPSC, NPSF. Includes an improved version of the Mach3 M1076.m1s threading macro and a matching screenset. Try also the Feed Calculator: www.sourceforge.net/p/feedcalculator

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

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.

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.

RFXCAM is an opensource CAD / CAM package targeted at CNC machines (Mills, routers...). The idea is to create the basic interface for geometry manipulation and toolpath creation.
