I downloaded cut2d, and it looks nice, I'm going to cut a few samples out to test it when i'm off work. I was able to import DXF files, toolpath them, post to Mach3 and cut them with confidence on my CNC machine.' 'The bottom line is Cut2D has all the functionality I need at a price I can afford and gets the job done perfectly! Jeff commented, 'I run a home made CNC machine and have demo’d many CAM programs but never found one that was as functional and affordable as Cut2D!' 'Cut2D is very simple to use, amazingly fast at calculating toolpaths for even my most complex parts and the CNC toolpath files run perfectly on my machine. He's been getting great results from the software and below are some pictures of his work.
Jeff Arnett is the owner of and he's been using to cut parts for clocks on his Home built CNC router. End mill) Below are some photo's of parts Wes has recently machined while Beta Testing Cut2D. Flat end mill) 5) Mill the outside profile of the part (.125' Dia. Mtg holes (Interpolated using.093' dia end mill) 2) Engraving (V bit engraving tool) 3) Mill 2ea.25'Dia. Wes Spence (metalworkz on the forum) and his son Mike are using DolphinCAD and Cut2D to design and machine radio controlled models and the results off his SIEG SX3 CNC Mill running Mach3 are great! Wes said - 'Cut2D is very easy to use and the 3D toolpath preview provides an in-depth visualization of the machining process and the finished parts before running the machine.” Many of his projects require multiple toolpaths and a typical example is the front bumper design that requires, 1) Drill 2ea.114' Dia. Thanks for the Announcement and poaitive appraisal Greg! We have finally sorted out the new Cut2D web pages and the is now available to download along with Training Tutorials (more to follow) and documents. $149 Cut2D $599 Vcarve Pro $480 upgrade from Cut2d to Vcarve Pro So with the upgrade path in mind this makes Cut2D a great starting point for those getting into CNC routing. The great thing is if you start with Cut2D and later want to upgrade to Vcarve Pro you only pay a $30 premium on the full Vcarve Pro price. But for $149 US it represents very good value. In comparison to Vcarve Pro it will not do the vee carving toolpaths and does not have the bitmap to vector converter included. It compares very well with Sheetcam, Lazycam and others for cost and leaves them in the dust as far as user interface is concerned. A very good and easy to use 2D cam software. Haven't seen an official announcement yet. Note although the Mac will automatically recognise the Emblaser as an Arduino device you will need to install the Windows drivers on your virtual machine for it to be recognised in Windows. Download your licensed copy of Cut2D-laser for Windows and run it in your virtual machine.
