Yes and no. I am going to harden them. I am finally going to assemble

Hi,
Do any of you use any of the 4 programs listed below? What other
solutions are out there? I have come to the conclusion it would be nice
to use some sort of tool rather than typing all the code out by hand.

hurry. On

I just started playing with dxf2gcode. It is a 2.5D solution that takes
in dxf files. It allows you to turn on cutter comp and change the
profiles cut direction.

Only played with it lightly but is seems pretty powerful.

The latest Linux release of CamBam is great - it runs on Ubuntu 14.04
really well - the previous release had some MONO framework issues.
2) I did use
Honestly I WISH there were an open source cam software package that had
even reasonable capabilities. I use freecad a lot and it has grown by
leaps and bounds and it is quite capable today. It is not solidworks but

Many of the parts I have posted photos of on the IRC were made with it. It
