CNC

CNC is Simple2D CAD / CAM tool project designed for various Sherline CNC mills or similar machines. CNC seems to be helpful with generating models of decorative gears.

The project's main focus is gears, but not real, functional ones, so CNC sports simple pocketing operations like circles and rectangles. It should also be capable of employing a geometry mode that can build more advanced shapes from both line and ark segments.

Among its other features, the project comes with unlimited layers as well as unlimited tool definitions. Defining components and reusing them within different designs should also be possible, as well as displaying the Sherline mill table and tooling plate as reference elements.

The project comes as a package containing the necessary data and components required in order to start designing plans for gear manufacturing.

In conclusion, CNC looks like a hobby-project. Its only use is to design decorative gears, from wood or plastic materials with the help of a CNC machine. Designing decorative gears might not be the most wide-spread operation around, but if that's your next project, or you simply need to model different sized and shaped gears this project might be worth checking out.
