![]() ![]() ![]() Compared to other commercial 2D cutting CAM packages I find QCAD/CAM cleaner and more intuitive as a occasional user.I have used QCAD and it's CAM function off and on for the last couple of years to generate job files for industrial 2D laser cutting and performance demonstrations. Although with a rather generous license (permanent, and rather cheap).
