FreeMILL

0 reviews

FreeMILL is a free and easy way to get started with 3D CNC milling. It lets you create toolpaths where a cutting tool moves over your 3D design in parallel layers to shape your part. You can create both rough and finish cuts, run a full simulation to see how the material will be removed, and then export the G-code to your CNC machine. FreeMILL works with both RhinoCAM and VisualCAD/CAM. That means you can either use it as a plugin inside Rhinoceros, or run it on its own using VisualCAD, which is also free. It’s a great option if you’re just getting into CNC machining or want to try out CAM software before buying a full version.

Straightforward and easy to use

I like how straightforward the product is to use. I would say that you don't need to have much experience with the software to be able to get the knack of it.

Good CAM software for the price

Low initial cost and yearly maintenance fees. The nesting module was given away for free in an update a few years ago. There is very little learning curve, as features are straightforward and consistent. Software is not overly complex. Knowledge based machining is a very handy feature, allowing you to reuse common cutting strategies. Using knowledge bases, toolpath geometry can be automatically assigned by layer, color, or type, which can reduce programming time. Customer support is helpful and timely.
