About

MachiningCloud is a cloud-based tooling-data and pre-CAM planning platform for CNC manufacturers, machinists, and manufacturing engineers. It provides searchable, manufacturer-sourced cutting-tool information, including 3D models, dimensions, drawings, and application data. Users can select tools, build and manage tool assemblies, review feeds and speeds, plan machining jobs, organize tool inventory and crib records, and export tool or job data to supported CAM systems. The platform also provides shop-floor documentation and lets users prepare tool purchases through participating suppliers. Its web application carries standardized tooling information from product research and tool selection into CAM programming and production preparation. Enterprise licensing offers API access to the catalog and data licensing for integrations with CAM, ERP, and tool-management systems.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I am surprised with the bunch of possibilities but I think ends up being very expensive just for a CNC wood machine and hobbies with 3d printers.
  • It's free. It will generate a surfacing tool path to make a flat board flat, but a little thinner than before.

Cons

  • I did not like the logical sequence to use it when you test the Trial for FreeMill as I don´t know what is free and what is not. Colors darkening and a dark mode is a must for me as my eyes suffer with the screen lights. Hate that light purple color.
  • I get it, it's the free version of your offerings, so I don't have huge expectations, but not even having the ability to contour or pocket a hole is so reduced as to make it useless.
