Cam software is a type of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software that automates the process of generating toolpaths for CNC machine tools. The CAM system is the heart of any CNC production setup and it is what generates the code for the machine to follow. There are a number of best free cam software available on the internet. Some of this software is not as good as others and may have some annoying bugs. But overall, they're all worth a try.

• HeeksCNC

• BlenderCAM

• Freecam8

The following is the list of free cam software which can be used for CNC machines.

  • The CAM software is used to create programs that control the machine tool’s movement and cutting actions. It is the final step in the CNC machining process, after preparing a 3D CAD model and generating a G-code file. 

  • The CAM software will produce an NC code which is then converted into a G-code file by the post-processor.

The best thing about cam software is that they are completely free to use, which means you don't have to spend any money to get started with them. There are many free cam software available for you to use, but not all of them are 100% free. The best free cam software that I have found and used is listed below.

  • DXF2Gcode

  • Estlcam
  • HeeksCNC
  • Fusion 360
