Introduction to SimplyCam

SimplyCam is a simple Cad/Cam system that creates toolpaths (G-Code). The geometric part can be created internally, with the available tools or imported from external files.

The main features of SimplyCam are:

Opening, creating, editing and saving geometry in industry standard DXF format.
Opening Svg file.
Vectorization with median line or outer edges mode of the raster images (Bmp and Jpeg).
Creating geometry with the Line, Rectangle, Arc, Circle, Ellipse, Polyline and Spline functions.
Changing the geometry with the Fillet, Trim, Break, Merge, Split, Extend and Explode block functions.
Transform entity with Scale, Rotate, Mirror, Offset and Translate commands.
Conversion of any TrueType font into vector.
Generation programs for CNC machines such as milling machines, Router, Water Jet, Laser, Plasma and Lathe.
Operations Manager to control all elements of the toolpath
Great number of post-processor modifiable included, as for example:
AutoGrav, Fanuc, Fadal, Haas, Heidenhain, Iso, Mach2 / 3, MaxNc, Selca, Siemens, ShopBot, Tecno-Isel, TurboCnc, ....
Opening, editing and simulation of the programs in G-Code format.
Opening/Saving geometry and toolpath with modification and recalculation.
Interface with toolbars and panels draggable.
