PhCNC LSSE is Windows PCB CAM software for CNC PCB milling and prototyping. It imports Gerber RS-274X, Excellon Drill, ODB++, DXF and Pick&Place data and provides tools for arranging, cloning and panelizing PCB projects. It generates toolpaths for isolation milling, copper rubout, drilling, routing and board cutout, marking drill operations and stencil milling, with support for multiple machining tools. Generated G-code can be inspected and simulated in the integrated CNC workspace before export. PhCNC LSSE supports multiple PCB designs in a single project, breakout tabs and configurable machining operations. Evaluation Mode has no time limit and allows complete project preparation, toolpath generation and CNC simulation. A EUR 75 perpetual license for one computer enables saving, copying and exporting G-code and other production-use output files. PhCNC LSSE does not directly control CNC machines and is also available through Microsoft Store.

    "Surprisingly complete"

    4 out of 5 stars 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"

    1 out of 5 stars 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.
