Description
PhCNC LSSE is a native Windows CAM application focused on CNC production of prototype PCBs. It reads Gerber RS-274X, Excellon Drill, ODB++, DXF and Pick&Place manufacturing data and turns PCB geometry into practical machining operations. Users can prepare isolation milling and copper rubout, drilling and routing, board cutout, stencil milling, panelized projects and top/bottom processing with multiple tools. Generated G-code can be inspected and run through the integrated CNC simulator before export, helping verify machining operations before they reach the machine. The software is designed for electronics engineers, prototyping labs, makers and small manufacturers rather than general mechanical CAM work. Evaluation Mode has no time limit and supports project preparation and simulation; a EUR 75 perpetual license for one computer enables production-file export. PhCNC LSSE does not directly control CNC machines.
