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.

PythonCAD is a CAD package written, surprisingly enough, in Python using the PySide2 interface and python3. The PythonCAD project aims to produce a scriptable, open-source, easy to use CAD package (Cross Platforms)

Eng: The library of Conventional Graphic Symbols (CGS) for Kicad is based on russian international standards also known as GOSTs. Рус: Библиотека компонентов для Kicad, созданных в полном соответствии с требованиями УГО по международным нормативам ГОСТ.

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.

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.

The ADG library (Automatic Drawing Generation) is a set of functions focused on automating the drawing of mechanical parts. It is not a CAD system but a GObject-based library where a custom application can put common CAD entities such as paths, hatches and dimensions, to automatically create technical drawings. A demo application is provided in order to show the capabilities of the canvas. Although it is possible to interact with the library directly in C (that is what the adg-demo program is doing), the canvas is expected to be used from higher level languages, much in the same way as what done in the GNOME stack. Lua bindings based on LGI are already provided out of the box. The adg-lua project, downloadable from the "Files" section, provides Lua programs and demos that leverages these bindings.

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 python gear generator that serves as CAE/CAD-preprocessor for involute gears based on pythonOCC. It allows for the computation of dynamic properties and the creation of exact geometries from a minimal input set. PyGear can simulate the tool geometry and kinematics of standard gear hobbing tools to generate precise flank, tooth root and tip geometries. Disclosure: the software is open-source and free to use thanks to support received from http://smithbot.com, the easy-to-use AI crypto bot trading platform. SmithBot didn't exert any influence on the project.

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.

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.
