Engineers, manufacturers and designers in search of a software solution to generate gcode and design manufacturing parts

About MeshCAM

CNC Software for Non-Machinists. MeshCAM is the fastest way to generate gcode. You have a simple goal, to take a CAD file and get your mill to cut it. You don’t want to become an expert on CAM software, you want parts today. MeshCAM is made for people who just want to make parts now. MeshCAM works with almost every 3D CAD program by opening the two most common 3D file formats, STL and DXF. If you just want to make 2D parts without using a 3D CAD program, you can load 2D DXF files (in R12 format) and extrude them to a 3D part. Sometimes you need a part that cannot be designed with a traditional CAD program. Sometimes you don’t even have a CAD program. If this sounds like you, don’t worry. You can open any image file (JPG, BMP, or PNG) in MeshCAM and the image will be converted to a 3D surface that can be machined directly. Users have come up with incredible uses for this feature to make parts that would be almost impossible with a traditional CAD program.

DeskProto
DeskProto
(1 Rating)
DeskProto is a 3D CAM program for 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis CNC milling machines. It can import 2D vector files (DXF, SVG, EPS, AI), 3D geometry files (STL, DXF) and bitmap files (any digital image), calculate CNC toolpaths for that design, simulate the result, and finally export a toolpath file for the machine that you selected - a long list of supported machines is present. DeskProto is available in our different editions: Free, Entry, Expert and Multi-Axis. The last three need a paid license, hobbyist users can buy a low-cost hobby license .

PolyWorks Modeler
PolyWorks Modeler
PolyWorks|Modeler™ is a comprehensive reverse-engineering software solution that allows extracting optimal CAD entities, curves, surfaces, parametric sketches, and prismatic features, from polygonal models of digitized parts to serve as the starting point in your professional CAD modeling solution. The first step in a reverse-engineering workflow consists in transforming digitized point clouds into surface-based polygonal models, also called meshes. Polygonal models are more compact, more accurate, and less noisy than raw point clouds and are directly handled by industrial applications such as milling, 3D printing, and aerodynamic simulation. Adopt effective scanning methods that ensure quality and precision with real-time quality meshing technology. Fill holes, smooth and rebuild surfaces, clean boundaries, recover sharp edges, make surfaces watertight, and more. Extrude boundaries, offset surfaces, reconstruct fillets, perform Boolean operations with CAD models, and more.

    "Less than ideal"

    Posted 2024-12-31

    Pros: That I didn't have to spend any money to test it.

    Cons: Tool paths were ridiculous, tool was cutting air more than metal. Run times in hours not minutes.

    Overall: Wrote to the guy at GRZ, told him my problem, sent him all the info he requested. He got back to me, said I was right, that there was indeed a problem with the software and that he would fix it. Haven't heard from him since! I guess either it was harder to fix than he thought or he just didn't bother to get back to me after that. Cost me a bunch of time but at least no money. Sure won't buy it now!
