## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 10.0 — 2026-08-17

Scientific Machinist Calculator (free)
Right-triangle solver, bolt hole circle, sine bar/plate, taper calculator, thread math, chip load/MRR, cutting power & torque, surface finish predictor, unit converter, and a scientific keypad calculator.
Control Panel Library — 4 → 8 controllers
Added Okuma OSP, Heidenhain TNC, Mitsubishi Meldas, Centroid. All 8 now have authentic per-brand button sets and a round, draggable jog handwheel with axis/multiplier controls.
 Workholding Selector — much deeper
13 part shapes, 23 fixture types, and a real scoring engine that ranks the best fixture for the job instead of hard-coded rules.
 CAD/CAM Studio — the big one, built in stages
Foundation: Sketch a part (parametric shapes or freehand drawing), generate real toolpaths (milling: profile/pocket/drill/facing/slot/engrave; turning: facing/OD-ID/groove/thread/part), preview in 3D, and export G-code posted correctly for all 8 controllers — including genuinely different Siemens and Heidenhain syntax, not just relabeled Fanuc code.
Toolpath quality pass: True G2/G3 arcs (not tessellated lines), pocket islands, a full A–Z engraving font, tangential helical lead-in/out arcs, ramping pocket entry, and an adaptive-style spiral clearing option.
Solid modeling: Extrude (boss) and Extrude Cut (real material removal — bridged into the stock as an actual hole with a floor plug, not just an overlapping shape) for both parametric and freehand sketches.
Latest round — four upgrades at once:
Save/Load + Undo/Redo — projects persist to disk now; nothing resets when you leave the screen
Complete solid preview — turning gets a real revolve solid, and drilled holes now carve into the part like sketch cuts do
Production tools — cycle time estimate, a reusable tool library, auto-suggested feeds/speeds
Toolpath playback — scrub through the cut with a moving tool marker

### 9.0 — 2026-08-07

Scientific Machinist Calculator (free)
A new calculator suite: right-triangle solver, bolt hole circle, sine bar/plate, taper calculator, thread math (TPI⇄pitch, tap drill %, 3-wire), chip load/MRR, cutting power & torque, surface finish predictor, a full unit converter, and a scientific keypad calculator.
Control Panel Library — 4 → 8 controllers
Added Okuma OSP, Heidenhain TNC, Mitsubishi Meldas, and Centroid. The original 4 (Fanuc, Haas, Siemens, Mazak) got rebuilt with authentic per-brand button sets instead of sharing one generic layout. Every controller now has a round, draggable jog handwheel with axis selector and ×1/×10/×100 multiplier.
 Workholding Selector — much deeper
Part shapes: 5 → 13. Fixture types: 11 → 23 (vacuum chuck, expanding mandrel, faceplate, modular fixturing, collet block, angle plate, sine plate, subplate tooling, adhesive mounting, strap clamps, steady rest, power chuck). The matching logic is now a real scoring engine instead of hard-coded rules.
CAD/CAM Studio — brand new, biggest addition
Design a part right on the phone and generate real G-code:
Sketch — parametric shapes (rectangle/circle/slot/polygon) or freehand tap-to-draw
Operations — milling (profile, pocket, drilling, facing, slotting, engraving) and turning (facing, OD/ID profile, grooving, threading, parting)
3D toolpath preview — rapid moves in red, cutting moves in green
G-code output — posts to all 8 controllers, with real dialect differences for Siemens and Heidenhain, not just relabeled Fanuc code

### 8.0 — 2026-08-05

New: Scientific Machinist Calculator (free)
A brand-new suite with 10 calculators:
Right Triangle Solver, Bolt Hole Circle, Sine Bar/Sine Plate, Taper Calculator

Chip Load & MRR (with chip-thinning compensation)
Cutting Power & Torque, Surface Finish (Ra) Predictor
Full machinist Unit Converter, Scientific keypad Calculator
Control Panel Library — expanded from 4 to 8 controllers
Added: Okuma OSP, Heidenhain TNC, Mitsubishi Meldas, Centroid
Existing 4 rebuilt (Fanuc, Haas, Siemens, Mazak) — each now has its own authentic button set and visual layout instead of sharing one generic panel
Every controller now includes a round, draggable jog handwheel (MPG) with axis selector (X/Y/Z) and increment multiplier (×1/×10/×100), like the real physical dial
Workholding Selector — much deeper
Part shapes: 5 → 13 (added tube, stepped, tapered, spherical, extrusion, large flat panel, fragile/delicate, large weldment)
Fixture types: 11 → 23 (added vacuum chuck, expanding mandrel, faceplate, modular ball-lock fixturing, 5C collet block, angle plate, sine plate, subplate/pallet tooling, adhesive/wax mounting, strap clamps, steady rest, pneumatic power chuck)
Recommendation logic rebuilt as a proper scoring engine instead of hard-coded branches, so it actually reasons across every shape × fixture combination

### 7.0 — 2026-08-03

AI CNC Copilot — Completely Rebuilt
The Copilot is now 100% offline and instant. No internet connection needed, no timeouts, no "connect for full answers" messages. Ask any G-code, M-code, tap drill, material, alarm, or setup question and get a specific answer immediately. Type "M06" and get the tool change explanation. Type "give me all G codes" and get every code G00–G97 listed. Type "M8×1.25 tap drill" and get 6.80mm instantly. 34 quick-prompt chips cover the most common questions.
Voice Assistant — Same Smart Brain
The Voice Assistant now runs on the same offline knowledge engine as the Copilot. No API calls, no network dependency. 55 quick question chips covering G-codes, M-codes, tap drills, speeds & feeds, alarms, setup, troubleshooting, GD&T, and formulas. Speak or type — both get the same instant answers.
GD&T Reference — Full 3D Upgrade
Every symbol now shows two 3D SceneKit scenes: a Feature Illustration showing what the tolerance zone looks like geometrically on an actual part, and a Measuring Equipment scene showing exactly which instruments to use and how to set them up. 13 symbols covered including Flatness, Circularity, Cylindricity, Perpendicularity, Parallelism, Angularity, True Position, Concentricity, Symmetry, Circular Runout, Total Runout, Profile of a Line, and Profile of a Surface. Each symbol includes the ASME Y14.5 measurement procedure, required equipment list, worked example, all valid modifiers, and a shop tip.
Workholding Selector — 3D Fixture Previews
After entering your part parameters the best workholding recommendation now shows a full 3D SceneKit model of the fixture. 11 fixture types modelled: Kurt-style milling vise with serrated jaws and lead screw, 3-jaw self-centering chuck with scroll and key holes, 4-jaw independent chuck, 5C collet chuck with split collet, soft jaws with machined bore profile, V-block pair with clamp strap, electromagnetic chuck with pole pattern, fixture plate with located parts and toe clamps, step clamps on T-slot table, granite surface plate with height gauge, and between-centres lathe setup. All memory-safe — scenes clear when you dismiss.
CNC Programming Course — New
Five modules and nine lessons with full interactive content. Every lesson has three tabs: a Lesson tab with structured sections and real G-code examples in green monospaced text, an Exercise tab where you write actual G-code with a progressive hint system and show/hide solution, and a Quiz tab with four multiple-choice questions, colour-coded results, and explanations for every answer. 70% pass threshold marks the lesson complete. Progress persists across launches with a percentage ring on the home screen.
Modules covered: Foundations (axes and coordinates, program structure, spindle/feed/coolant codes), Motion and Arcs (G00/G01/G02/G03, cutter compensation G41/G42/G40), Canned Cycles (G81/G83/G84 drilling and tapping), Lathe Turning (diameter programming, G96 CSS, G95 feed/rev), and Advanced (G71 OD roughing and G70 finish pass).
Hardness Converter — New
Bidirectional conversion between HRC, HRB, HV (Vickers), HB (Brinell), HRA, tensile strength in N/mm², and KSI. Uses the actual ASTM E140 standard conversion table with piecewise linear interpolation. Automatically shows what materials correspond to your hardness value and what tooling strategy to use — HSS below 20 HRC, carbide through 45 HRC, CBN for hard turning 45–55 HRC, grinding or EDM above 55 HRC. Includes a full reference table with typical materials at each hardness level.
Home Screen — Two New Sections
Learn and Reference section added with CNC Programming Course and Hardness Converter. Smart Tools section previously added with Workholding Selector, GD&T Reference, Video Lesson Library, and Daily Problem of the Day.

### 6.0 — 2026-07-29
