I know these ... never try kicad ... but try more linux cad .... actually most part of these works in 3d model but you neet to make a lot of code for use it in similar way to (for exe.) Inventor from 2008. Bend in most case is only a "mirage"... I know USAF or NASA (not remember now) have make an open cad (I think USAF or other Military USA office because I remember a simulation 3d of tank shot) ... and i try to use it into 2010 .... really much code to write for use it.
So I know quite well linux cad situation ..... Any how I hope with 3d print "revolution" (in europe has already passed but it is going to be revived due to several inventions in various states) something was moove in that direction. The program indicate to mee from various user is all valid and think i try all next mount when my 1500*1200*800 3d print was terminated. regards giorgio ________________________________ Da: Chris Albertson <albertson.ch...@gmail.com> Inviato: mercoledì 17 maggio 2017 06.49 A: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Oggetto: Re: [Emc-users] Best cam linux/open for additive manufactory I like free open source software too. In fact I finally switched from Eagle to Kicad for schematics and PCB design, IN the past Eagle worked and Kicad as a development process. Kicad caught up because CERN (the physics lab in Europe) adopted and funded Kicad. But open source CAD/CAM is just not there yet. You simply can not draw a part and then send it to a four axis milling machine using open source software. When that is possible I'll do it. Yes Autodesk will ask you to pay a for Fusion. It is not free for everyone so you don't have to be suspicious of them charging for it one day. They are already asking for money. But it's free for hobby, student and small startups. They have a sustainable business model, charge a subscription to those who can afford it and don't bother asking for money from those who don't have money. What FreeCAD needs is someone to adopt it like KiCad, someone with a few million dollars to spend.
