Re: Is this "Free" CAM software?

Hi Jeff,

cncsimulator is a simulation software which can show how the cutting
will be performed once you load your Gcode program and input other
parameters such as tool length and diameter. It is not a CAM system
which can produce the Gcode for you.

You will have to be alert though, because some of their
interpretation of some Gcode command don't seem to be standard. (to
be fair to them I have not used their program that extensively and
you will have to make your own judgement)

If you are looking for a simulation program, there is another one -
cutviewer.
