Details 

PLEASE NOTE IF ORDERING A CD VERSION:  IF YOU ARE IN THE USA PLEASE CHOOSE THE USA CD VERSION AND IF YOU ARE ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF THE USA PLEASE CHOOSE THE INTERNATIONAL CD VERSION. THANK  YOU.  

Control your stepper motor Based CNC Robotic tool with the best software for the job

FREE SET OF FOUR 3D PUZZLE PROJECTS INCLUDED IN DOWNLOAD !

The Mach series of CNC control software was originally developed for the home hobbyist, but has quickly turned into one of the most versatile windows based CNC control packages for industrial use as well.

This Product is downloadable right after you purchase and will run 500 lines of code without the license file so you can get started right away..We will email you a license file within 24 hours of receiving your payment.

MACH 3 is Windows based and very user friendly. It is inexpensive and versatile. Works best with older versions or Windows XP. Does Not work with Windows 10.
It is not a CAD program (you do not draw parts with it)  It is a machine control program and your router cannot run without some sort of control software. If you have No budget at all take a look at EMC2. It's not Windows based. It's Linux based and it has a steep learning curve but hey, its free.

For the CNC newbie this software is the best around for contolling your step and direction based CNC robot router etc. That means it uses stepper motors not servos. See our learning pages.

It will see you right through your years of CNC as both a hobbyist and into a professional envrironment.

If you would like the CD version with full PDF manuals and a copy of our free Makebot router plans just choose the CD option. You can still download right away and we will still email you your license but you will also receive the CD rom
by normal postal service as you backup.

3d Scale Calculator

Details 

On Sale Now!!!

PLEASE NOTE FOR WINDOWS ONLY NO MAC VERSION

One of the most difficult things for most makeCNC pattern users and people dealing with Flat pack style CNC patterns or templates is dealing with thickness scales. Most makeCNC projects and patterns are 2d flat files in DXF format that are created using various CAD software at our design facility in Delaware USA. www.makecnc.com

Heres what our customers, Ron and Janette Fotd have to say about the Scale Calculator.

Your Scale Calculator is Fantastic.

I was making a sample of the 6mm Boxer and decided that this model was too big for a desktop.
Using your calculator I scaled down to a thickness of 5mm.
After a few attempts at this, using Corel Draw 4, I did a sample cut and it turned out to be exactly 5mm.
This thickness produces a far more suitable size for a desktop pen holder. In my opinion.

Our Pattern files usually come in three thickness scales for both metric users and Imperial measurements (inch) these thickness measurements are based on the slot and tab method of construction of a 3d model from flat sheets of material usually plywood or acrylic or sheet metals but also many other types of sheet materials including foam core board, cardboard, plastics, and hardwoods. This Calculator is for PC Only. We do Not have a version for Mack right now.
