Perpetual License CAM was created by trackwhack
We were too broke to keep paying CAM subscription every year so we built this. Its not free, but 200 dollhairs gets you in perpetuity a 3 and 4th Rotary axis CAM. For what its worth, learnt everything from here. I know its not open source but was advised by a mod that I can put this here. Sales will help us open more engineering sw that everyone can afford. Thanks.

Do you have any real life examples?
Fanuc post processor?
Is there a trial version?

Disclosure first: I'm the developer and Takshak is a commercial product.
I'm posting in this section because the rules allow it — mods,
please move this if it belongs elsewhere.

What it is: a CAM package for 3-axis work and 4th-axis rotary. You bring
a model, it finds the features, you pick operations and tools, and it
posts g-code. It runs entirely on your own machine — no cloud account,
no internet needed after activation, nothing phoning home while you cut.

Posts it ships with, eighteen in all:

Shop and DIY controls — LinuxCNC · Mach3 / Mach4 · GRBL · Masso ·
Centroid · Tormach

Industrial controls — Fanuc (generic) · Haas · Mazak · Doosan ·
Brother Speedio · Mitsubishi · Fadal · Siemens 840D · Heidenhain TNC ·
Okuma OSP · Fagor · Hurco

Seventeen of those eighteen also ship a ready-made inch variant, so you
pick your control and your units and you're done. The exception is
Heidenhain TNC: it writes Klartext, and I won't ship a Klartext inch
post until I've checked the TNC feed-word convention against a real
control. I'd rather ship one less than ship a guess.

Also worth knowing:

- Rotary is a first-class part of it, not an afterthought bolted on.
- It runs on Windows and on Linux. The Linux build is a single AppImage.
- It's a one-time perpetual licence, not a subscription. $199 for the next 30 days, $399 later. If it's no good, there's 30 days to get your money
back, no argument.

What it isn't: it's CAM, not CAD. And it's new — 1.0.3 went on sale this
week. I'd rather say that plainly than have someone find out.
