In reply to Samantha. I would suggest posting the problem you're seeing with CNC.js to the community CAD Answers. They may be able to help.

I was a bit disappointed not to see CNC.js listed here, it’s a lovely interface and runs on most platforms including Pi.

That said the reason I’m searching again is that upon trying to reinstall CNC.js on my Pi it’s throwing up a tonne of issues so maybe I’m not that disappointed…

In reply to Susan B. You can probably only use their app but I would suggest speaking to them. They will be best placed to answer questions about their system :)

We recently purchased a GoFab CNC. It came with a tablet and app preloaded. Does this mean we can only use their app or can we upload a different app for running the table?

Hi Luke, thanks for reply. Currently im just a dealer for imported CNC machines from Europe.
Im working on a project to build own CNC machines with similar European technology. Im inviting some collaborations in software especially because it is the heart of any high-tech machine. Ofcourse ready available CadCam in the market is always safe options but my future plan is to have own in house CadCam. It will be expensive to build new ones but atleast we can have a control in long run.
Need more opinions on this.

In reply to Benedict. Hi Benedict, that's a massive question. I expect you are an accomplished developer already if you're considering developing something like this so I would go with your own instincts.

Hello Bethany, thanks on articles. Im designing cnc machines 4-axis. Any idea who can develop new CADCAM software ? Instead of using readymade cadcam software in the market, i was thinking of developing under my own branding. What will be your opinion? Tq
