List of CAD/CAM Software

[BilboBaggins]

Good day all.

Quite often I see posts regarding what CAD or CAM software is out there, so I was thinking about making a list of known CAD / CAM Software.

Here are the following I know off the top of my head.

Alibre Design
AutoCAD
CamBam
BobCAD/CAM
Dolphin CAD/CAM
Draftsight
FreeMILL
Inventorcam
MasterCAM
Sheetcam
Sketchup
SolidCAM
SolidWorks
SurfCAM
Vectric

I know most are out of the price range for a hobbyist.

It would be nice if we could make up a full listing of the software out there, what it supports and price ranges.

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards.

Can we add Ucancam , Having just been updated to V10 and priced around £120/£160 for the standard version or £320/£400 for the Pro version (Pro offers full 3D machining support etc)

It is usually given with Chinese machines if you want something better than the 'copied' type 3 and Artcam.

On the up side, the list of features are high, on the down side, some of the English can be quite Chinglish.

I'd like to add my program, JointCAM to the list. Creates g-code for traditional woodworking joints. It's still in development, but is avaiable now.

Pity about the name;

"OpenSCAM is an Open-Source software which simulates 3-axis CNC milling or engraving. It is a fast, flexible and user friendly simulation software for the DIY and Open-Source community. OpenSCAM works on Linux, OS-X and Windows. "

I don't know if this option is available in the UK, but Autodesk has an introductory offer for Fusion 360 (CAD and CAM) that get's you the full $1200/year package for $300/year, for life.

I've never used it, but I'm seriously considering it.
I had hoped to one day purchaser a full seat of AutoCAD. But, Autodesk is going subscription only next year for all their products, and this is a great deal.

I installed it earlier and all seems to work fine.
