Thanks in advance for any input! I've also look through the forum for topics inline with this but mostly saw suggestions for paid and/or 2.5 axis programs but, maybe I missed the thread I needed to see. Also any good alternatives to LinuxCNC are welcome albeit LinusCNC being substantially robust open source software that will be pretty hard to beat. I have also looked into FreeMill by mecsoft and P圜AM as options for tool path generation but am hoping for some more options. The best option I have found so far is model with Alibre Design, use FreeCad as a Gcode/Tool-Path generator, then use LinuxCNC to operate the CNC Router. Commonly used free CAM software includes Freecad, LinuxCNC, P圜am, Blender CAM The above CAM software has 3D rendering function, but using Sketchup is. I would like to avoid Fusion360 as they could update their licensing policies at any point locking out the free capabilities for CAM/Gcode. OS: Debian GNU/Linux 8.10 (jessie) Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0 (Git) Build type: Unknown Branch: master Hash: b6304d16a77f65f94aa5ec79f69688be61a42961 Python version: 2.7.9 Qt version: 4.8.6 Coin version: 4.0.0a OCC version: 7.1. I would like to get a smaller setup for my studio and I'm trying to figure out some good Free/Open-Source alternatives. My previous employer was using fusion360 to design and generate Gcode for their Mach3 CNC controller and in all it was a pretty good setup for their needs. ![]() I think the path should respect the P value despite different feed rates but offer no guarantee. Unless someone on the linuxcnc forum says otherwise Im staying with that answer. ![]() I'm looking into some possible options for a 3axis CNC router setup compatible with Alibre exportable files and was hoping for some opinions and suggestions. Two G0 moves one after another was generated by Freecad Linux CNC postprocessor.
