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

The volume of chip removed increases with each tool or insert. It is possible to work with the full depth of cut using the full height of the tool edge even with small diameter tools. The unique optimized tool paths generated by the software greatly increase cutting speed and therefore productivity. Get the full potential of your CNC machines. - Many of our clients have even canceled orders for the acquisition of new machinery. Many of our customers tell us that they have reduced the volume of tool orders. SolidCAm is the leading integrated CAM software - seamlessly integrated with SOLIDWORKS and Autodesk Inventor . SolidCAM is the only CAM with the exclusive and patented iMachining module . SolidCAM and iMachining provide you with incredible savings and increased efficiency in your CNC machining processes, which translate into benefits and successes for all SolidCAM customers.

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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Use One CAM for all machines Use One CAM integrated on best CAD (SOLIDWORKS, Solidedge, Inventor) Very good support. Post processor development Open source with excelent support team. Patented technology imachining

Cons

  • Use only 3 CADs, SolidCAM need integrated all CADs, use on industry but not on schools.
