About

Open Cascade CAD Assistant is a powerful offline 3D CAD viewer and converter with simple and intuitive interface, free for both personal and commercial use. Originally developed as a testbed and showcase for the Open CASCADE Technology on mobile platforms, the solution has been appreciated as fast and handy 3D viewer by thousands of end-users on mobiles and desktops worldwide. CAD Assistant brings the power of open technologies to the hands of engineers working with 3D data. CAD Assistant is based on open source libraries (Open CASCADE Technology, Qt, FreeType, FreeImage, etc.) and employs open formats for CAD and mesh data (STEP, IFC, IGES, BREP, glTF, JT, PLY, STL, OBJ, 3DM). It also supports a set of other file formats like DXF, SAT (ACIS), XT (Parasolid). Viewing mesh models with associated data is an additional functionality included in CAD Assistant. Mesh can be read from files in PLY format.

About

CNC Software for Non-Machinists. MeshCAM is the fastest way to generate gcode. You have a simple goal, to take a CAD file and get your mill to cut it. You don’t want to become an expert on CAM software, you want parts today. MeshCAM is made for people who just want to make parts now. MeshCAM works with almost every 3D CAD program by opening the two most common 3D file formats, STL and DXF. If you just want to make 2D parts without using a 3D CAD program, you can load 2D DXF files (in R12 format) and extrude them to a 3D part. Sometimes you need a part that cannot be designed with a traditional CAD program. Sometimes you don’t even have a CAD program. If this sounds like you, don’t worry. You can open any image file (JPG, BMP, or PNG) in MeshCAM and the image will be converted to a 3D surface that can be machined directly. Users have come up with incredible uses for this feature to make parts that would be almost impossible with a traditional CAD program.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • That I didn't have to spend any money to test it.

Cons

  • Tool paths were ridiculous, tool was cutting air more than metal. Run times in hours not minutes.
