About the CNCSimulator
Before downloading and installing CNCSimulator Pro, please read this page: What is needed?
The idea of the CNCSimulator Pro is to provide the CNC community with a versatile and contemporary Full 3D CNC Machine Simulator with CAM capabilities. The CNCSimulator is for everyone with an Internet connection and the Windows operating system. Currently we support two and three axis turning and milling machines using our own Fanuc inspired G-code language as well as a Laser Cutter, a WaterJet, a Plasma Cutter and a 3D Printer. The program is free for anyone to use but with limitations for non paying users.
Clever idea - normally, you set your height (Z Axis) to your work surface plus a couple inches and 'machine air' for your first go-around. Make sure your tool isn't veering off into someplace it shouldn't. This way gives you a visual representation without having to be at the mill.
