I love the idea of FreeCAD and how much value it provides if you don't need 'advanced' stuff. That being said, it often leaves me with impression that UI, UX could and should be so much better in order to become a go to solution for hobbyist and licensing cost mindful people. p.s-Anyone here into StepNC format?



What is your interest in StepNC ?


I kind of stumbled on it since I work with CAM (recently more so). I was surprised that I haven't heard of it before since from what I've seen the framework is mature and the API's seem quite complete (?). The official channels of ISO standard and especially company steptools.com provide a lot of info on the framework, but what I'm missing is some more success stories on implementation in companies (besides the ones that were part of development). Do you work with it?


The founders of steptools.com are the project leader and editor of StepNC. Another source of information is the AP238 website [1].

I work on the underlying libraries and tools.
