Anyone interested in a powerful and easy to use 3D CAD and CAM tool
About Alibre Workshop
Alibre Workshop is a combination of two tools - Alibre Atom3D and MeshCAM Pro for Alibre. Using the two together, you can design and refine 3D models or 2D drawings and then create toolpaths for your mill. The last step - walking to the mill and pressing go - is all that's left. Create relief images in your favorite image editor or find them online. Machine them directly to create stunning pieces, no CAD required. Signs, terrain, art - so many possibilities.

ONGAA CAM
ONGAA CAM is a program specifically designed for WOOD CNC machining from HOMAG, BIESSE, HOLZHER. Tpa Albatros. It allows you to create finished programs from within SOLIDWORKS. While working in SOLIDWORKS, you design and apply toolpaths without conversions or DXF files. The files created by ONGAA CAM are 100% compliant MPR or BPP or CIX or NCHOPS or TPACAD files and require no additional manual edits. There is no additional software costs or post processors.
To use ONGAA CAM, open Solidworks and a part. Next start programming or use the wizard to program for you. Finally click generate program and copy it to the CNC. Run the part program.

CAD6industrie
CAD6industrie is the comprehensive 2D/3D CAD/CAM solution for industrial use. In addition to to the full range of functions of CAD6studio, including SMART2D Technology, it also contains a CAM plug-in and a universal, script-based post-processor for the flexible and efficient generation of CNC data for machine controllers.
The CAM plug-in supports the following machining procedures: milling, drilling, turning, water jet cutting, laser cutting, as well as cutting, plotting, and positioning.
Commands like milling cutter compensation, pocket milling, milling order control, milling time calculation and a graphical 3D preview let you create drawings that are directly milled later. Extensive tool and machine settings, plus output of custom commands (such as cycles or sub-programs) by means of symbols, give you the complete control over what the post-processors finally output to the machine.
All programs of the CAD6 series are 100% data-compatible.
