Separate purchase / Upgrade to +CAM posible?

Do you have a question you want to ask an existing QCAD user about QCAD and what you can do with it? Do you want to know if a particular feature exists? This is the place to ask.

Separate purchase / Upgrade to +CAM posible?

Post by charlie_fd » Sun Oct 25, 2020 4:03 pm

Hi,

I've just purchased the qcad pro only to find out that it might have been a better idea to get the qcad+cam option. I just need to cut plywood most of the times and I'm sure the +CAM module would suit this usecase just fine. Would it also be possible to also cut bevels (cut in multiple passes while progressively offsetting the cutting path in or out ?

Anyway, the question is can I buy the CAM module or upgrade from Qcad pro to qcad+cam ?

Thanks!

No, there is no such feature in QCAD/CAM. You'd have to create different toolpaths for each offset.

Yes, no problem. I've sent you a discount coupon code to get a discount for the price of QCAD when purchasing QCAD/CAM.

I've done the upgrade, for simple cuts I will not have to switch to a different software and that's great.

Thanks!
