About

Alchemist converts SAS Base programs, Enterprise Guide projects, and DI jobs into PySpark for Databricks, Snowflake, or Microsoft Fabric. Its analyzers inventory SAS assets, estimate migration size in Alchemist tokens, and map dependencies among jobs, datasets, and macros. The Code Converter parses source into a syntax tree and applies patterns and templates to produce deterministic output; Enterprise Guide projects and DI jobs can also be converted from metadata. Teams can use the interface or API, hosted service, or private-network deployment, including air-gapped Docker environments. Alchemist converts code and pipeline logic but does not move data. The free trial provides a dashboard for any number of SAS assets with no time limit; it excludes conversion and full Analyzer detail. Paid kits use a one-time license per kit; conversion is charged pay-as-you-go by Alchemist token, with no subscription.

About

MacroFusion™ is an advanced CNC macro automation platform that converts repetitive CAM-generated G-code into intelligent reusable CNC macro programs. The software analyzes repetitive machining motion and transforms long NC programs into compact macro logic using variables, loops, conditions, and automation workflows. Features include: • CAM-to-macro conversion • Intelligent pattern recognition • WHILE loop automation • Variable-driven machining • Custom canned cycle builder • Toolpath preview and macro visualization • Macro workbench and live simulation • G-code compression and optimization • Reusable machining logic Supports advanced workflows including: • Helical interpolation • Trochoidal slot milling • Spiral pocket milling • Bolt-circle automation • Figure-8 oil groove machining • Face sweeping • Wave surfacing Compatible with Fanuc, Haas, Siemens, Okuma, and other macro-capable CNC controls.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I like Macrofusion is easy to install and takes up very little space. I also really appreciate that the new version consolidates many of the smaller programs, so you now only need a single application. Support is easy to reach and always very helpful.
  • One thing I like is that it gives another option besides constantly going back into CAM for small changes. We have used it to build reusable cycles that can be adjusted with variables instead of editing hundreds or thousands of lines of code. The thread generation tools are straightforward, and the Macro Library has several useful functions that can be applied to everyday jobs.

Cons

  • One downside is the lack of detailed Manuals or explanatory videos that thoroughly explain how to use the Software, thought I notice this is improving with each new version.
  • It takes some time to learn the different features and understand where they fit into your programming workflow. New users will probably spend a bit of time experimenting before getting the most out of it.
