Perpetual License CAM

Claude helped a lot. But if you check it out, you would know that it was built by humans for humans.

Sorry for the offtopic, but I have to ask, how can you be sure that AI won't use GPL-licensed code to write a commercial program? After all, AI does not write code from letters and numbers, it only modifies examples found on the Internet...

GPL obligations attach to distributing a derivative work of GPL-licensed source. No GPL source is ever in our tree. The code was written against our data model, our kernels, our architecture — the post-processor library isn't a re-derivation of anyone's, it's config-driven dialects off a specified ISO base.

Every component we ship is enumerated and licence-checked by the build, and the build fails if one isn't.

I'd fall back on other more knowledgeable folks who use AI more extensively than we do if this does not answer your query.

hey this looks pretty cool.  i just spend some time going through your videos and website

have been using cam for several years.  started with fusion 360 but got sick of autodesk so went to bobcam with solidworks which is pretty good.

not as easy to use as fusion but more powerfull finishing tool paths.  though i prefer the fusion adaptive tool paths.   Obvously i prefer open source as most linuxcnc people will do so looking at freecad as its getting better.

I find with my normal cam workflow i use adaptive clearing roughing for most stuff and facing cycles etc.  and then some sort of steep shallow type tool paths.  so a combination of parallel and 3d contour

do you think it would be possible to offer anything for 5 axis positional stuff.  i have a large 5axis that i want to try out soon.  and currently no options for cam.  my stuff only does 4 axis.

cheers

We expect to release a Five Axis product in Jan 2027. It will be a separate product and we expect to price it at a similar 199 USD on launch and 399 USD after.

We are also aiming to release TakshakTurn by the same timeline and once again it will be a separate product with similar pricing.

Overall, we will never have a subscription model, it will always be a one time purchase.

btw .. our 4 axis strategies beat what Fusion offers and we have an equally good 3 axis suite. If you are willing to try it, there is a 30 day money back guarantee.

hey one idea for you that i have seen

Ecam.it which is another really good turning cam software in my opinion offers the software free for weekends.  

can you try a free trial without credit card or anything.  just so i can quickly try it?

cheers
