Blendercam

Blender CAM is an open source solution for artistic CAM - Computer aided machining - a g-code generation tool.

Blender CAM is an add-on for the free open-source Blender 3d package.

It has been used for many milling projects, and is actively developed. If you are a developer who would like to help, don't hesistate to fork the project and start generating pull requests.

There is a google group forum here if you don't find what you are looking for in this wiki.
