  • 2.5D profiling and pocketing.
  • Toolpaths from True Type (TTF) Text.
  • Fully scriptable using VBScript or JScript.
  • Some 3D support is appearing.
  • The application is extentable by user written addins written in a variety of .NET supported languages include C/C++, C#, Visual Basic.
  • Bitmap to heightmap included for rudimentary 3D machining from photographs.
  • Its Free!

    • Thanks to the inexhaustible MrBean, we now have a CamBam forum set up for release announcements, bug reports and tips and tricks.

    Please note! CamBam is still in Beta development. Please verify any code this program may generate before unleashing it on expensive hardware.
