DXF to CNC Toolpath: Basic CAM Functionality

This tool provides basic Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) functionality directly in your browser. It reads DXF geometry and generates complete CNC toolpaths with proper tool compensation, pass depth management, and path ordering optimisation.

Real-World Examples & Use Cases

Bracket Fabrication

Convert a DXF bracket drawing into contour toolpaths for CNC routing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is tool compensation?
Tool compensation (G41/G42) offsets the path by the tool radius so the cut lands exactly on the programmed boundary, rather than on the centre of the tool.
What is a pocket operation?
A pocket operation removes material from inside a closed shape, rather than just following the outline contour.
