Description: AboutWith CAMotics, you can simulate 3-axis GCode programs for CNCs and visualize the results in 3D. CAMotics runs on Linux, OS-X or Windows. It's fast, easy to use and best of all Open-Source and free.With the power to simulate your CNC tool paths you will avoid dangerous and expensive mistakes. By looking at the built-in examples and using the online documentation you'll be running your own simulations in no time. And, if you need more help, we'll be happy to answer your questions via the discussion group.Would you start cutting without measuring first? Then why would you run a CNC program with out simulating? CAMotics will save you time and money and open up a world of creative possibilities by allowing you to rapidly visualize and improve upon designs without wasting materials or breaking tools. If you find CAMotics useful, consider donating some money, otherwise it's totally free so go ahead and download CAMotics now.MissionAt home manufacturing is one of the next big technology revolutions. Much like the PC was 30 years ago. There have been major advances in desktop 3D printing (e.g. Maker Bot) yet uptake of desktop CNCs has lagged despite the availability of cheap CNC machines. One of the major reasons for this is a lack of Open-Source simulation and CAM (3D model to tool path conversion) software. CAM and NC machine simulation present some very difficult, yet not insurmountable, programming challenges, as is evidenced by 30+ years of academic papers on these topics. Whereas, 3D printing simulation and tool path generation are much easier.CAMotics aims to be a useful CNC simulation platform for the DIY and Open-Source community. CAMotics should serve the highly technical user but remain simple and user friendly enough to support less techie types as well. To this end CAMotics will focus on facilitating specific simulation tasks (i.e. use cases) such as engraving and PCB board cutting as well as more advanced simulation techniques and programming interfaces.
