About

FreeMILL, a sub-set of our commercial CNC software, is a free milling module for programming CNC mills & routers. Yes, completely free CAM software with no time limits, number of tries limit, number of saves limit or lines of code limit! Create a toolpath where the tool is driven along a set of parallel planes to cut your geometry. Create both Roughing and Finishing toolpaths. Run full cutting and material simulation of toolpaths. Output G code to your CNC milling tool of choice. MecSoft Corporation is a developer of standalone, as well as integrated CAD/CAM software solutions for both the subtractive (CNC machining) and additive (3D printing) manufacturing industries. Founded in 1997, MecSoft is a technology leader that develops, markets and supports our CAM software products from our world headquarters in Irvine, CA. With a focus on developing easy, powerful, and affordable CAD/CAM software solutions.

About

In the highly-competitive world of CNC manufacturing, businesses need to look for any way they can possibly gain an edge over the competition. Analyzing your machining process and trimming minutes off here and there in both the programming and machining can lead to huge savings at year-end. That’s where ICAM’s SmartPACK product suite can help. The SmartPACK lineup consists of SmartCUT for automatic detection and elimination of time-wasting air-cuts, SmartFEED for intelligent feed-rate adjustment based on depth-of-cut and SmartPATH for advanced tool-path optimization. Better yet, when used as part of ICAM’s Adaptive Post-Processing™ technology, it can perform all these operations simultaneously, without the need for excessive CAM reprogramming and retesting. Rather than spend costly time to develop and verify positioning paths using trial and error, our patented SmartPATH® technology automatically finds the optimal path to move the tool quickly and safely from one position to another.

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.
