- Hey followers, happy 2023!
We're sorry we haven't posted in a while, we've been busy working on an awesome new free 2D design tool within our Australian made CNC3D Commander software.
CNC2D is a free CAD/CAM design suite that we have designed to get people comfortable with their machines quickly and easily.
It supports the ability to create detailed profile shapes and designs and converts them quickly and easily to crisp and simplified G-code!
We thoroughly hope you enjoy using this tool and we will be constantly developing it so please keep feedback and bug reports coming!
We are already planning a timeline to advance it's capabilities as we introduce 2D with infill, then move to 2.5D router engravings and eventually full 3D carvings!
To access this awesome design tool, you need to download and install our CNC3D Commander software.
It is designed to control all GRBL based controllers above GRBL version 1.1.
If you use Easel, LaserGRBL, CNCjs or OpenBuildsControl then Commander will likely work for you.
We have specifically added extended features and breakouts for hybrid GRBL controllers such as the xPROV5 and currently implementing full support for GRBLHAL. Of course, Commander is also heavily optimized for use with our Australian made Nighthawk CNC controller. :)
You can download our CNC3D Commander software from our website here:

Nice looking forward to how this evolves
Nice
Thanks. :)
Are you planning on adding a tool to easily create regular polygons that are not ellipses or rectangles? Say if i wanted to create a hexagonal honeycomb matrix and tesselate it many multiple times it would be handy to have a tool that lets you select a 6 sided regular polygon and then copy it to create the honeycomb.
This has actually already been implemented in the development version and will hopefully be released soon. :)
@cnc3d excellent. I am currently working my way through your tutorial vids in preparation for the delivery of my mill set up you guys are working on atm. Looking forward to trying it all out soon.
Hello. no import SVG
Hi Jozef,
Yes you can! See video from @22:00, this image import function also supports SVG import. :)
No Router choice?
In the future absolutely. :)
To add a bit further... the bulk of the work was in making the designer. We've engineered it to be easily scalable to other technologies and methods. Now that users can customize shapes it's just a matter of implementing the Gcode engine to suit routing
@@cnc3d so can you use cnc2D for routing ??
@@fjarcella1283 Not at this stage, we are still developing our G-code engine to support this. It will be available in a future update. :)
