What is CNC Software for Linux?
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) software helps manufacturers, machinists, and engineers design, program, simulate, and control CNC machines used for cutting, milling, turning, drilling, engraving, and fabrication processes. These platforms convert digital designs into machine-readable instructions (G-code) that guide CNC equipment to produce precise parts and components. CNC software often includes CAD/CAM capabilities, toolpath generation, machining simulation, nesting, post-processing, and machine monitoring features to optimize production efficiency and accuracy. Many solutions integrate with CAD systems, PLM platforms, manufacturing execution systems (MES), and shop floor equipment to streamline end-to-end manufacturing workflows. By automating machining processes and improving precision, CNC software helps organizations reduce waste, increase productivity, and accelerate product manufacturing.

DeskProto
Delft Spline Systems
DeskProto is a 3D CAM program for 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis CNC milling machines. It can import 2D vector files (DXF, SVG, EPS, AI), 3D geometry files (STL, DXF) and bitmap files (any digital image), calculate CNC toolpaths for that design, simulate the result, and finally export a toolpath file for the machine that you selected - a long list of supported machines is present. DeskProto is available in our different editions: Free, Entry, Expert and Multi-Axis. The last three need a paid license, hobbyist users can buy a low-cost hobby license .Starting Price: Free -

RoboDK
RoboDK
RoboDK is a powerful and cost-effective simulator for industrial robots and robot programming. RoboDK simulation software allows you to get the most out of your robot. No programming skills are required with RoboDK's intuitive interface. You can easily program any robot offline with just a few clicks. RoboDK has an extensive library with over 500 robot arms. The advantage of using RoboDK's simulation and offline programming tools is that it allows you to program robots outside the production environment. With RoboDK you can program robots directly from your computer and eliminate production downtime caused by shop floor programming. Use your robot arm like a 5-axis milling machine (CNC) or a 3D printer. Simulate and convert NC programs to robot programs (G-code or APT-CLS files). RoboDK will automatically optimize the robot path, avoiding singularities, axis limits and collisions. Simulation and Offline Programming of industrial robots has never been easier.Starting Price: €145
