Engineering tool
FabricatePro CNC
A CAM engine for the web: upload a CAD file, set cutting parameters and generate machine-specific G-code for milling, turning, wire EDM or experimental 5-axis surfacing — then inspect the toolpath in 3D.

(01)The challenge
G-code that actually runs on a real machine needs real toolpath planning per machine type and controller — not a template with numbers swapped in.
(02)The solution
Real geometry extraction from CAD files, per-machine toolpath planners and Fanuc / Haas / Siemens post-processors, with known limitations shown honestly in the UI.
(03)Features
What it does.
Milling
Contour, pocket, drill, tap, ream and bore operations from DXF.
Lathe turning
Rough and finish cycles from a DXF half-profile.
Wire EDM
Outer contours with wire radius and spark gap offset applied.
Feeds & speeds
17 materials drive starting RPM and feed rate.
(04)Screens
A closer look.
(05)Process
How it came together.
Discover
Understanding the goal: g-code that actually runs on a real machine needs real toolpath planning per machine type and controller .
Design
Structure, key screens and the look agreed before any code was written.
Build
Developed with React, Vite, Python — fast, responsive and maintainable.
Launch
Tested on real phones and desktops, then deployed to production.
Improve
Fixes, refinements and new features based on how people actually use it.
