I’m looking at a new project to replace F360 in my workflow. I only use F360 for it’s toolpath/Gcode/CNC programming. There has been some discussion in the past about the lack of an entry level CNC package integrated into Rhino. I have my own needs and ideas, but would like some input on what oth…

I think what you just described is Vectric Vcarve Desktop, except it is not fully integrated with Rhino. Instead it will read 2D dxf, dwg and other files, also 3D .3dm files exported from Rhino. It’s very well thought out and a delight to use. There is also Vcarve Pro and Aspire with even more capab…

This sound interesting. I applaud it not being subscription. Will it be affordable to hobbyists? Also, although it has not been updated in years. Pycam had a good start at rudimentary tool-path generation and bit selection. https://pycam.sourceforge.net/screenshots/ [Not for toolpaths, but for m…

Vcarve,As was said earlier. Very simple to use and quick and quite cheap.

I use RhinoCAM, which works great. I also looked into MadCAM which looks good too. Both of them run inside Rhino. A lot of people use MeshCAM with Rhino but it’s a stand alone program. Nice price on it though.

I use VCarve Pro, and recently installed the FreeMill plugin - it’s by MecSoft, the RhinoCAM developer. But I think it only runs on Rhino for Windows. [image] Get FreeMill for Rhino - a powerful CAM software for Rhino. FREE, fully functional, 3D Milling product based on MecSoft's world …

Because there is no easy (for me) and cheap (I am no commercial user) to use Gcode program in Rhino V6, I use Estcam for 2.5D milling. I am very interested in such a program as plugin

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, as a bit of a tease this is a look at where my new project “KaroroCAM” is currently sitting. I have prototype toolpaths for: [Image 441] 2D Profile Cutting 2D Engraving 2D Pocketing 2D Facing 3D Roughing 3D Parallel Finishing 3D Trace Drilling Facing was t…

RhinoCAM in my opinion is very user-friendly. About a decade ago l used to work on it for a while. I really liked its direct approach and the ability to copy, paste and rearrange the milling operations. However, it had one major drawback. The 3d simulation with 5-10 operations on relativrly large o…

[image] Bobi: Ability to do indexed miling with rotated milling head. Since this is targeted towards the hobbyists with mostly basic 3-axis CNC-routers, some operations require to manually rotate the milling head by 90 degrees or 45 degrees to reach areas that usually require 5-axis CNC-machines…

What would an entry level CNC package for Rhino look like?
