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.

Description

Vectric VCarve provides a robust and intuitive solution for 2.5D CNC carving, allowing users to create intricate designs including v-carving, chamfering, fluting, prism, and moulding toolpaths. It supports importing and machining 3D models, giving users creative flexibility for a variety of projects. The Desktop version is ideal for small CNC machines with a 24”x24” work area, whereas the Pro version supports unlimited job sizes and adds professional features such as true shape nesting, merged toolpaths, job setup sheets, and gadget automation. The software offers extensive drawing and layout tools, bitmap editing, image tracing, and advanced text manipulation to ensure precision and detail. Realistic 3D previews help users visualize their projects before machining, reducing costly errors and enhancing client presentations. VCarve’s tool database simplifies cutter management and integrates with V&Co for sharing tool data across multiple machines. Additional features include rotary axis support, production plate engraving, and customizable toolpath templates. Comprehensive online tutorials, an active user forum, and free CNC projects support users of all skill levels.
