CNC software

The CNC programming & control software suite offers a digital manufacturing solution for makers and small workshops. The programming module imports DXF/SVG/STL files, auto-generates G-code via intelligent path planning, optimizes machining parameters and simulates processes. The control module connects to CNC via USB, monitors tool paths and device status in real-time, supports manual debugging and resume-from-breakpoint functions, fitting rapid prototyping needs of desktop CNCs.
