G-Simple	Completely free simple yet powerful software for 3-axis mills, use it to create G-codes for drilling, milling, engraving, tapping & pocketing. Created by Sotiris Kontogiannis Screenshot
GCAM	Open Source software for 3-Axis CNC mills. Simple interface for making holes, and sketches, which after extruded, provide the cutting paths for the selected end mill. GCAM also supports RS274X (Gerber) and Excellon drill files for circuit board milling.. Screenshot
SolidCAM	A powerful CAD/CAM system with the "Save" crippled, for those who want to learn 3D modeling and part programming for milling or turning in a Windows environment. Also download the QuickStart Tutorial for milling and turning, but, to view the Tutorial you'll need MSWord 7.0 or the freeware MSWord 7.0 viewer . You can receive a free CD with all the software and tutorials by entering the download area and clicking the link SOLIDCAM CD-ROM. @20MB. Screenshot. Created by CADTech.

VisualMill	CAD/CAM software for milling. Very easy to use in a freindly Windows environment with all features functional. The only crippling being done, is on the "Save" being disabled as also the G-code post-processing. @2.5MB. Created by MecSoft Inc
FeatureMill FeatureMill3D FeatureTurn	A very easy to use CAD\CAM software for 21/2, 3 - axis milling and turning. The "Save" and post-processing for G-code have been crippled. Screen-Shot. Created by EGS Inc.
CodeShark Lite	CodeShark Lite is a free version of the main CAD/CAM system CodeShark. The full CodeShark version is also available for download, but it functions only for one month. The main features of CodeShark include G-Code programming wizards for tool start, drill start, bolt-circle, grid, pocket milling, thread milling, turn-facing, turn-roughing, serial number engraving. A CAD tool with DXF file import, tooling, trigonometry and unit conversion calculators. Other helpful options such as multiple machine configurations and G-Code analysis help optimise cutting strategies. CodeShark Lite however comes without the CAD integration or the programming wizards. Screen-Shot of CodeShark Screen-Shot of CodeShark Lite Created by Soft Squad Software
e NC	For 2D programming, e-NC can mill pockets islands, holes (include threading with a mill tool), engraving (with all windows font). e-NC can import DXF, DWG and IGES files. Software is in the French language. Limited free download. Screen-Shot of e-NC Created by ERCII
SprutCAM	2D & 3D milling, engraving, laser, plasma, water & stone cutting. Works with all CAD file formats and unlike most other systems does not convert the CAD data but works on it directly. The "Save" is crippled. Distribution only by demo CD request. Created by AES

VX	You'll have to fill up a form for them to reach you at. It's a 21/2 to 5 axis CAD/CAM with the "Save" crippled, but it's got a good CAD modeler with shape healing, solid morphing, hybrid unions of solids & surfaces. Created by VX Corporation
CNC Simulation
AutoEditNC	AutoEditNC is a specialized text editor with NC code creation tools for 2D machining and tool-path simulation. It's an excellent program for learning CNC programming. Screenshot. Created by Beta Technical Solutions, LLC .
CNCSimulator	2D and 3D simulation of both turning and milling machines. It has an NC editor and ports for communicating to CNC machines. Although it's completely free software, they require you to download what they call a "petrol file" every couple of months to keep the program working on your computer. Screenshot.
