Introduction
Clock

GGCad is a software for g-code ( or iso ) generation. It is designed to be user friendly. Its simplicity, compared to other software, renders it indispensable. You will control it fastly either in its CAD mode (Computer aided design) or in its CAM mode (Computer aided manufacturing).

With its advanced CAD module, GGCad offers you traditional drawing tools that you can find in most of industrial softwares. You will thus be able to draw different shapes such as points, lines, circles, arcs, ellipses, text and splines. Moreover, you will have the transformation tools such as rotation, symmetry, scale, translation. Spur gear and wing airfoils can be created with just one mouse click. Its flexibility will allow your drawings to be managed easily and rapidly.

With its CAM module, you are able to create simple tool paths as well as complex tool paths (contours and pocketing). Its importing and exporting capabilities, such as DXF and HPGL, allow you to work on your files that are already designed.


GGCad has support for any type of font and writing, left to right, right to left as well as Asian fonts.


To get rapidly used to GGCad, your are advised to do the tutorials. Final files from tutorials are available in the download page.
