Browser CAD/CAM · view · simulate · generate
Your whole CAM shop,
in a browser tab.
Open a part, watch it cut or mill in 3D, and export the G-code — no install, nothing to sync. CamForge does milling, plasma / laser / waterjet cutting (sheet and tube), tube bending, and a rotary plasma CAM that open controllers have been missing.

One tool, every process
From a drawing to a running program.
Load a part, pick the process, watch it happen in 3D, export the code. The same engine drives all of it.
Milling — 3/4/5 axis
Tri-dexel material-removal simulation, tilting-table 4/5-axis, real tool shapes per material. Part → toolpath (raster 3-axis), DXF → 2.5D pockets.
Cutting — sheet
Plasma, laser, waterjet and oxy-fuel. Kerf swath, part separation, heat/spark FX per process, cutting head that follows the path.
Cutting — tube
Unroll the tube, cut on the developed surface, wrap it back on the axis. Round and rectangular sections, torch-follow Z.
Rotary plasma CAM
The headline: DXF/STEP → wrap → QtPlasmaC G-code for LinuxCNC/GRBL/FluidNC. The rotary post commercial CAM still skips.
Tube bending
Rebuild the bent part from LRA/YBC programs (K-factor / bend allowance) and animate the bend from straight bar to finished part.
NC generators + post
STEP→NC, part→milling, DXF→plate, with LinuxCNC / GRBL / Cutlite / QtPlasmaC posts and real cut-chart material presets.
Why people find us
“I have built a fully functional pipe cutting machine… The problem is SheetCAM. It generates the toolpath, but the post processor is not compatible with QtPlasmaC.” — LinuxCNC forum, “No CAM option for Rotary QtPlasmac?!”
Rotary tube on open controllers is where CamForge shines: true geometric A-axis mapping, kerf compensation, lead-in/out, torch-follow Z, G93 inverse-time feed, and QtPlasmaC material files from real Hypertherm cut charts (mild steel, stainless, aluminium, FineCut, F5). Round and rectangular tube. Simulate first, then export.

DXF · DWG · STEP · IGES · STL
2D profiles and 3D solids via native parsers and vendored OpenCascade / LibreDWG — all offline, nothing uploaded.
G-code / NC · tube dialects
Multi-dialect G-code (G0–G3, drill cycles, 4/5-axis, LinuxCNC expressions) plus laser-tube formats (Adige, Cutlite, AlmaCAM).
QtPlasmaC · GRBL · LinuxCNC
Export ready programs and QtPlasmaC material files. Everything runs in the browser — desktop app optional.
Two ways to run it
In the browser, or on your desktop.
The full app runs in any modern browser — nothing to install. Prefer a native window, file associations and offline-by-default? Grab the Windows build. Same engine, same files.
