Companies, engineers and industry professionals in search of a free milling software solution for programming CNC mills and routers

About FreeMILL

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.

SprutCAM X
(1 Rating)
SprutCAM X is CAD/CAM software featuring a streamlined workflow and comprehensive functionality. Compatible with any CNC machine: 3/4 and 5 axis Mill, Lathe, Mill-turn, Swiss, MTM, EDM. Toolpath calculation is performed taking into account full machine kinematics and limitations including collision avoidance and axis limits control. A single environment for the offline programming (OLP) of industrial robots. An efficient robot machining solution for the rapid creation of complex collision-free 3D movements in native 6 or more axes code (5 to 6 axis transformations are not required). The SprutCAM team has been working on CAM software development since 1987. During this long period we have gained extensive experience and expertise in computer-aided manufacturing. Our team consists of experts and practitioners in the technologies required to power the tools to make CNC programming easier, faster, and more effective for our customers.

CAMplete TruePath
CAMplete TruePath
Have you ever wondered why your tool paths look great in your CAM System but not on your milling machine? This is no longer something you have to consider, because with CAMplete TruePath the answer is clear. CAMplete TruePath bridges the gap between your CAM systems and your 5-axis machines. It provides everything needed to post process, verify and simulate 5-Axis tool paths in a 3D environment. CAMplete TruePath is an easy-to-use application that takes you from your CAM System to your machine efficiently and safely. Using toolpath data from all industry leading CAM Systems, TruePath’s customizable post-processor allows you to output your NC programs the way you need, with no on-machine editing required. 5-axis simulation, visualization and verification tools give you the confidence of knowing how your machine will behave before you run a single line of G-code. CAMplete works closely with CAM companies, their applications engineers and end users to ensure compatibility.

    "Surprisingly complete"

    Edited 2023-10-26

    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.

    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.

    Overall: Nice. Using each module separated seems to me really good and logical but some Freecad "similarity" MAKES IT A LITTLE CONFUSING.

    "So reduced it is pointless"

    Edited 2023-02-09

    Pros: It's free. It will generate a surfacing tool path to make a flat board flat, but a little thinner than before.

    Cons: 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.

    Overall: I don't think this is the sales tool you think it is, as I am now just left annoyed that I had to go through the whole process to trial VisualCAD just to find out how useless FreeMILL is. The program only spent a total of 5 minutes on my system.
