Netfabb
Netfabb® software includes efficient build preparation capabilities alongside tools for optimizing designs for additive manufacturing, simulating metal additive processes, and planning for CNC post-processing. Import models from a variety of CAD formats and use repair tools to quickly correct errors. Make your models production ready by adjusting wall thicknesses, smoothing rough areas, and more. Identify areas that require support and use semi-automated tools to generate support structures. Convert organic, free-form mesh files to boundary representation models and make them available in CAD in STEP, SAT, or IGES format. Use 2D and 3D packing algorithms to optimally place parts within the build volume. Create custom reports that include critical information for manufacturing and quoting. Develop build strategies and define toolpath parameters for maximum surface quality, part density, and speed.

VCarve
Vectric VCarve is a powerful yet user-friendly software for creating 2.5D decorative carvings and machining parts on CNC routers. It supports toolpaths such as v-carving, chamfering, fluting, prism, and moulding, and allows the import of 3D models for machining. The Desktop edition suits smaller CNC machines up to 24”x24”, ideal for hobbyists, while the Pro edition offers unlimited job size, true shape nesting, job setup sheets, and other production tools. VCarve includes comprehensive drawing and editing tools for vectors, bitmap import and editing, and image vectorization. Users benefit from realistic 3D toolpath previews and a built-in tool database for managing cutters and machining parameters. VCarve integrates machine management tools and offers extensive online training and community support.

ONGAA CAM
ONGAA CAM is a program specifically designed for WOOD CNC machining from HOMAG, BIESSE, HOLZHER. Tpa Albatros. It allows you to create finished programs from within SOLIDWORKS. While working in SOLIDWORKS, you design and apply toolpaths without conversions or DXF files. The files created by ONGAA CAM are 100% compliant MPR or BPP or CIX or NCHOPS or TPACAD files and require no additional manual edits. There is no additional software costs or post processors.
To use ONGAA CAM, open Solidworks and a part. Next start programming or use the wizard to program for you. Finally click generate program and copy it to the CNC. Run the part program.

DeskProto
DeskProto is a 3D CAM program for 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis CNC milling machines. It can import 2D vector files (DXF, SVG, EPS, AI), 3D geometry files (STL, DXF) and bitmap files (any digital image), calculate CNC toolpaths for that design, simulate the result, and finally export a toolpath file for the machine that you selected - a long list of supported machines is present. DeskProto is available in our different editions: Free, Entry, Expert and Multi-Axis. The last three need a paid license, hobbyist users can buy a low-cost hobby license .
