Milling machines Added a new meshing algorithm - Dual Contouring. It produces sharp corners and smoother curved surfaces on the machined workpiece, where the classic algorithm rounds them off. It is more demanding on the GPU, so you can choose between the two algorithms in the se
What we're working on The workpiece in the simulator is made of millions of tiny volume elements (voxels). The current algorithm that turns them into a visible surface averages the shape between voxels — which rounds off sharp edges and softens fine detail on your cuts. We are re
All Machines Surface finish quality now depends on feed rate and spindle speed. Improved drawing on the workpiece and optimized the finishing texture. Workpieces are automatically rotated 90 degrees when needed to fit vise and chuck jaws. If a workpiece does not fit the clamp, a
This update adds a cinematic "show" camera, a first-person workshop walkaround, smarter G-code, and a long list of fixes. Here's everything that's new. ✨ New Show camera (F4) — automatically follows your program and frames the action as it runs. On the lathe it keeps a good angle
🎉 First Working Prototype: Dedicated Hardware Controller! We've got something special to share with you today — the first working prototype of our dedicated MillingMachine controller is alive! 🕹️ Instead of using your mouse and keyboard, imagine reaching for real handwheels to
🛠️ Bug Fixes - Fixed a crash and broken cutting that could occur after a piece was cut off the workpiece and the remaining part was re-clamped. Cutting now continues to work correctly after re-clamping. 🚧 What's Next - We're actively working on a big new update packed with impr
A big update with a fresh new look, new tools and machining capabilities, and a long list of fixes. Here's what's new: ✨ NEW FEATURES 🎨 All-New Dark Interface The UI has been completely redesigned with a sleek new dark theme — cleaner panels, a refreshed CNC display, and smooth
Guys, We just want to let you know that we are actively working on completely new GUI. It is far from being finished yet on the picture. Please let us know what you thinkːsteamthumbsupː
