Hi, I found a new CAM program at OnCreate3D. It seems to be a Cloud app working directly within a browser. I tried few ToolPath operations on an uploaded STL file. It generated ToolPaths as fast as any desktop CAM. They seem to have good breadth of 3D ToolPaths.

There is no end mill Tool displayed with ToolPath motions. Tool simulation can be a nice feature they can add.
 
OnCreate3D Adds 2D Operations

OnCreate3D is first full cloud app. No installation, no hardware/software locks, no paid AMCs and no upgrade costs.

OnCreate3D has Mill-2D project type that allows import of DXF file for 2D Contour, 2D Pocket and 2D rest mill toolpaths.

OnCreate3D also outputs NC File for Basic POST. Hold on... Customizable POST is on the way.

In the mean time, check out new 2D toolpaths, improved simulation for 3D as well as 2D toolpaths and import variety of DXF files.

Please check snapshots attached here.

You need to be more upfront on who you are.
Posting as a third party user when you are pushing the software is liable to get you banned.

No problems having companies show what they have and what they are doing but you need to be open or you are history.
 
Sorry John,

I am new to forums. Just graduated from Engineering school in Pune, India. I will be open to this forum from now on. I am working as Test Engineer with OnCreate3D for past 5 months. This forum has given us good inputs. We have implemented Units, Simulation as per some good suggestions in this forum.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Regards,

Rajat.
 
We have added few interesting features to recent deployment at OnCreate3D portal.

Sharing projects with others:

OnCreate3D, First Full Cloud CAM app, makes life easy for Design Engineers & Machinists, by allowing to share their project(s) with other users (operators, decision makers etc.) Machinist seating at his remote office can create NC Files for CNC Machines in his production facility. He can simply share his project with operator who can download NC File and run the machine. The machine that Machinist programmed for is busy? No problem, operator can configure POST to output new NC File for different CNC Machine. Create toolpath operations only once and use it for different locations, different machines multiple times. Machinist doesn't want operator to change his toolpath operations? Simply give READ permission. Machinist wants to allow operator to edit toolpath parameters to suit machining conditions? Give him WRITE permission.

Toolpath simulation:

OnCreate3D has introduced toolpath simulation to visually check for correctness of toolpaths before downloading NC Files. You can play/Pause any time, you can speed up/down anytime. Although it is simple simulation for time being, we are working on showing updated stock after every operation. The feature is coming soon. Stay tuned.

Customizing POST parameters:

Users can now customize POST parameters and generate correct sequence of commands in NC File.

User Interface:

We constantly strive to make it better. New icons for toolpaths depict the purpose better than before. Operations tree view is now resizable and can be moved on graphics window for your convenience.

We are working on bringing nesting to OnCreate3D. Stay tuned.

Check out latest deployment at OnCreate3D. Sign-in, it is FREE until June end 2017.
 
OnCreate3D Introduces Stock definition, display and use in roughing toolpaths.

Latest build of OnCreate3D has introduced stock definition. As the CAD File is uploaded in new project, stock is automatically calculated and shown for the part in CAD File. User can modify or reset the stock, as well as hide/show stock. The stock volume is used for roughing toolpaths namely parallel, plunge and pocket.

Latest build has also introduced STEP import, fast forward and rewind options for simulation, Customized NC out, standard APT output and few other enhancements. Check out latest build at OnCreate3D. Just sign-up for FREE unlimited projects and unlimited NC File downloads until June 30, 2017.

Now that is so cool. Nice work guys

Page Bookmarked! Not that I intent using your tool right now but sure will follow you guys. Luck with future dev!
 
That looks great, once it's finished and then once it's free for hobby, and cheap (with some actual pricing) for startup you have a chance of taking some market share from Fusion 360 :D

You can't expect users to invest the learning time in something without a clear, up front pricing structure.

Not much about the product has been very "Up Front" so far though so you have some work to do and your CEO's flippant disregard for Cloud Data Security will scare the crap out of anyone making products they don't want stolen, best get him to change his mind and think data security is very important for paying customers rather than being almost irrelevant. :D

which is only one of the reasons i won't be doing cloud based anything. particularly cloud based cad/cam.. I've already had the high pressure sales pitch on how cheap it is for fusion 3##. yes it is cheap, but once you have it on their site, it's theirs. miss a payment, you no longer have access to print nor program. I won't participate in cloud based anything because I won't be held hostage with my intellectual property. why do you think they aren't targeting the big corporations.
 
Whats new in OnCreate3D

April Deployment of OnCreate3D, First Full Cloud CAM App, (OnCreate3D) added Stock definition, editing and using the Stock for roughing toolpath operations. May 01, deployment has added many interesting features that will make OnCreate3D more user friendly. First important one is the part orientation followed by WCS definition. CAD modelers may have different default orientation that may not match orientation for machining in OnCreate3D. Users can now rotate imported CAD geometry around X, Y or Z axis to orient part properly within OnCreate3D. User can also define WCS with respect to part bounding box.

Second important feature is the facility to Edit existing toolpath operation. Users can right click on toolpath operation in tree view to edit the already create toolpath. When user changes some parameters in toolpath dialog box and clicks OK, the toolpath is re-created and displayed to user again.

Third important feature is to share project along with toolpath operations and NC File to other users already registered with OnCreate3D. When you have spent considerable time creating toolpaths that will machine a part correctly, you can simply share your project with other users, so they save valuable time. A machinist can create toolpath operations in his office and then shares project with operator or manager at shop floor. operator just downloads NC File and start cutting the job. User can give Read, write or copy permissions to other users.

We are adding many more features in months to come. Stay tuned with us and make the MOST OF FREE BETA version until June 2017. You can subscribe to OnCreate3D by clicking sign-up button at OnCreate3D.
