HeeksCAD is a free, open source, CAD application. Import solid models from STEP and IGES files. Draw construction geometry and lines and arcs. Create new primitive solids, or make solids by extruding a sketch or by making a lofted solid between sketches. Modify solids using blending, or boolean operations. Save IGES, STEP and STL. Printer plot the 2D geometry or to HPGL. Import and export dxf files; lines, arcs, ellipses, splines and polylines are supported. Use the geometric constraints solver to create accurate drawings from rough sketches. HeeksCAD can be translated into any language. There are currently English, German, and Itallian translations. HeeksCAD has been built for Windows, Ubuntu, Debian, and OpenSUSE.

Written in C++, HeeksCNC is an add-on for HeeksCAD homepage The user can add machining operations. These can then be output to NC code. The NC code is then shown as red and green lines on the screen. The NC code is generated using Python script, so it can be configured for different machines. HeeksCNC uses OpenCAMLib for the &Zig Zag& operation HeeksCNC uses libarea for the &Pocket& operation HeeksCNC uses libactp for the &Adaptive Roughing& operation.

Based on voxlap by Ken Silverman, this program shows an empty world in a window, and then lets you call a Python script file called "Run.py" which you can use to add and remove spheres, cuboids, cylinders, etc.
You can use the application as a support tool for simulating the NC code from a Bridgeport Series I machine.
It is GPL license, because voxlap is GPL license.
This project can be built with Visual Studio 2008 Express ( which is free )
- Platform: Windows 7, WinOther, WinVista
