Description

Vectric’s Cut2D is a versatile vector drawing and 2D machining software tailored for CNC routing, milling, and engraving projects. Its easy-to-use interface supports a full suite of drawing tools, image import, vector editing, and image tracing, allowing users to create detailed and complex designs. The Desktop edition is ideal for smaller CNC machines with a maximum bed size of 24”x24”, perfect for hobbyists or small production, while the Pro edition expands capabilities with unlimited job sizes, true shape nesting, toolpath merging, and job setup sheets suited for commercial environments. Cut2D supports a variety of toolpaths including profiling, pocketing, drilling, and auto-inlays, plus unique features like thread milling and diamond drag engraving. The software’s realistic 3D toolpath previews let users visualize cuts before machining, reducing errors and material waste. A comprehensive tool database manages cutter information, feeds, and speeds, and is synced via V&Co for easy sharing across multiple machines. Vectric also offers an active community forum, online tutorials, and gadgets to automate tasks, improving efficiency and learning. Regular updates enhance functionality, helping users tackle projects ranging from simple signs to intricate cabinetry.

Description

FreeMILL is a complimentary milling module that operates as part of our commercial CNC software, designed specifically for programming CNC mills and routers. This entirely free CAM software imposes no restrictions regarding time limits, the number of attempts, saving capabilities, or lines of code! Users can create toolpaths where the cutting tool moves along a series of parallel planes to shape their desired geometry. Additionally, it allows the generation of both Roughing and Finishing toolpaths, and provides full simulation capabilities for cutting and material processes. Outputting G-code for your selected CNC milling machine is also part of its features. MecSoft Corporation, founded in 1997, is a pioneering developer of both standalone and integrated CAD/CAM software solutions catering to the subtractive (CNC machining) and additive (3D printing) manufacturing sectors. Headquartered in Irvine, CA, MecSoft is committed to creating easy-to-use, robust, and cost-effective CAD/CAM software solutions that meet the diverse needs of our users. Their dedication to innovation ensures that customers receive top-notch support and continuously updated technology.
