Tes Cad Cam Software Free Download

[Zee Palmer]

forreasons i cannot fathom, it does not write gcode for all the pieces.

or it writes blank gcode.

and I cannot edit the imported model. despite each piece being totally separate from the other, freecad treats it as one monolithic part.

so before I stab in the dark and try other cad/cam suites blindly attempting to find one that works best, does anyone else have this process worked out? From sketchup (.stl) to something that can be lofted/nested and finally to gcode?

I used SU for years (mostly for 3d printing) and I was happy with it. Then I got in touch with Fusion 360 and onshape. Since then SU is not an option anymore. Solid modelling produces always good objects and the history based approach saves you a lot of time.

When I looked into using Sketchup online in the beginning, it was not fruitful. I also had struggles drawing dxfs, then converting to SVG, then generating the gcode in MakerCAM. Though I could use this workflow to make cuts, I never could get the scale quite right.
