GNU Computer Aided Manufacturing - (Latest Version: 2008.03.08)

GCAM is the GNU Computer Aided Manufacturing open source package. It currently supports any 3-Axis Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) mill such as the Taig or Sherline in both english and metric units. GCAM consists of a simple interface for making bolt holes, drill holes, sketches, templates, and more. After extruding these entities one can export the corresponding g-code for the selected cutting tool(s). GCAM also imports RS274X (Gerber) and Excellon drill files for gerber to g-code pcb milling conversion used in circuit board prototyping. Once a design is complete one can export the corresponding G-Code to the appropriate CNC driver of choice such as TurboCNC for DOS or EMC for Linux. Please use the Discussion Forum to post any questions or suggestions. GCAM is written entirely in C and consists of about 17k lines of code. The GCAM source code can be downloaded from the Files page. Please post all feature requests under Bugzilla.
