About

Blender CAM is an open-source solution for artistic Computer Aided Machining (CAM), functioning primarily as a g-code generation tool. Originating from Czechia, this free and open-source software specializes in CNC Simulation, CAD-CAM, 3D simulation, and g-code generation, supporting Computer Numerical Control processes. Its product portfolio is defined by its core functionality in generating machine code for artistic applications. Key features include its portability and a community-driven approach allowing users to suggest and vote on new functionalities. Blender CAM is available across multiple platforms, including Mac, Windows, and Linux. While specific revenue, leadership, founding history, and employee count are not provided, its open-source nature and presence on GitHub indicate a community-supported project. It is positioned in the market as an alternative to various CAM tools such as LaserWeb, OpenBuilds CAM, CamBam, jscut, DeskProto, KrabzCAM, Mach4, SprutCAM, and Ink/Stitch, distinguishing itself from CNC control hardware or broader commercial solutions like Mastercam.
