PyCAM - Open Source CNC Software FREE

PyCAM is an Open Source CAM - Toolpath Generation for 3-Axis CNC machining

Supported Operating System: Windows, Mac, Linux 

This pycam listing categorized under

Free CAM Softwares
Free CNC Softwares Download
PDF Tutorials
Linux cnc softwares
opensource softwares for free download
CAM softwares that runs on Linux OS Like Ubuntu SuSe Debian Redhat etc
CAM CNC Softwares that runs on MAC OS


Advantages of PyCAM

• interactive 3D model view
• estimate machine time for each toolpath
• scale, move, rotate, flip and transform 2D/3D models
• 2D projection
• multi-layered 2D models
• extrusion of 2D models with configurable slopes

Disadvantages of PyCAM

• It does not have a CAD modeler,
• 3D models need to be in STL
• 2D models in DXF or SVG.

Scipy - Advanced data analysis using Python

An introduction to using python for scientific and other data intensive purposes. The examples are related to bench top laboratory data analysis. The speaker is Shane Neeley, a bioengineering masters student at Rice University and it was hosted by Brightwork CoResearch, an independent research and entrepreneurship facility in Houston, Texas. Best Suited for Mathematical Modelling, Computational Physics, data Analysis and Visualization

Parametric modeling - demo with PythonOCC

Parametric modeling can be considered as the modeling of objects that can be described using a finite number of parameters or dimensions.

Parametric modeling can also be called as dimension driven modelling.

Parametric modeling enhances the understandability and interchangeability of cad models (cad files) between different cad development platforms

pythonOCC comes with importers/exporters for the most commonly used standard data files format in engineering: STEP (AP203 and AP214), IGES, STL.

OpenGL and Visual Basic

Dears,

Some questions related to OpenGL and Visual Basic

How can I add openGL to Visual Basic?

Is OpenTK an alternative to OpenGL?

How to implement Select and Pick options in OpenGL or OpenTK (with visual basic)?

How can I extrude a 2D drawings in VB OpenGL?

Please discuss about these questions below as I need it very urgently
