FreeMILL Description

FreeMILL is a complimentary milling module that operates as part of our commercial CNC software, designed specifically for programming CNC mills and routers. This entirely free CAM software imposes no restrictions regarding time limits, the number of attempts, saving capabilities, or lines of code! Users can create toolpaths where the cutting tool moves along a series of parallel planes to shape their desired geometry. Additionally, it allows the generation of both Roughing and Finishing toolpaths, and provides full simulation capabilities for cutting and material processes. Outputting G-code for your selected CNC milling machine is also part of its features. MecSoft Corporation, founded in 1997, is a pioneering developer of both standalone and integrated CAD/CAM software solutions catering to the subtractive (CNC machining) and additive (3D printing) manufacturing sectors. Headquartered in Irvine, CA, MecSoft is committed to creating easy-to-use, robust, and cost-effective CAD/CAM software solutions that meet the diverse needs of our users. Their dedication to innovation ensures that customers receive top-notch support and continuously updated technology.

ONGAA CAM
(1 Rating)
ONGAA CAM was designed specifically for WOOD CNC machining by HOMAG BIESSE HOLZHER. It allows you to create programs directly from SOLIDWORKS. You can design and apply toolpaths in SOLIDWORKS without converting or using DXF files. The files created by ONGAA CAM comply with all MPR, BPP, CIX, NCHOPS and TPACAD standards. They do not require any manual editing. There are no additional software costs. Open Solidworks and a component to use ONGAA CAM. Next, start programming or let the wizard program for you. Click generate program, then copy the program to your CNC. Run the part program.

SprutCAM X Reviews
SprutCAM X
(1 Rating)
SprutCAM X is a widely used CAD/CAM/OLP system for CNC machines and industrial robots. We are pioneers in the field of Machine-Aware programming. This technology considers the movement capabilities and limitations of machines and robots at the initial programming stage, unlike most other systems which integrate these considerations during the machining simulation process. This eliminates the need for reprogramming and re-verification, ultimately reducing the time from project initiation to code completion. Enjoy the power, speed, and safety of a natural easy to learn, and use CNC programming workflow. SprutCAM X Robot is an innovative all-in-one CAD/CAM/OLP software that allows you to program complex robot applications without disrupting the manufacturing process and the need for an on-site robot programming expert without purchasing a separate CAM system. SprutCAM X Robot supports various brands and configurations of industrial robots, allowing the user to work in a single interface for programming and simulation and output code for use in actual robotic cell applications. Experience the powerful all-in-one software suite for complex and creative robotics tasks.

HSMXpress Reviews
HSMXpress
The software supports toolpaths tailored for conventional milling tasks such as 2D roughing, pocketing, drilling, facing, and contouring. It also features simulation tools that allow for both forward and reverse material removal processes. Additionally, the robust CNC program editor includes functionalities for file comparison, block numbering, text modifications, and comment removal. A customizable Post Processor System based on JavaScript is also available, equipped with standard posts commonly used in the industry, enabling users to adapt the output to their specific needs. This flexibility ensures that users can optimize their machining operations efficiently.

    So reduced it is pointless

    Edited: Feb 09 2023

    Summary: 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.

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

    Negative: 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.

    Surprisingly complete

    Edited: Oct 26 2023

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

    Positive: 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.

    Negative: 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.
