Camcut mobile app includes a variety of technical calculators which help you to calculate machining values, coordinates, thermal expansion and other calculations related to metalwork. The application also includes many different standardized tables, which have been published with the permission of Finnish Standards Association (SFS). In these tables you can find for example dimensions for different threads as well as general and ISO tolerances. The application's guides include plenty of useful information about most relevant topics in machining, such as G-codes, functionalities of Mastercam and geometrical tolerances. The application is specifically designed as a tool for production workers and other personnel of machining workshops, as well as an aid for metalwork teachers and students. The application is available in various languages including Deutsch, Eesti, English, Español, Français, Italiano, Polski, Português, Русский, Suomi, Svenska. The application is free of charge.

Turn a photo or a sketch into G-code your CNC router, laser engraver or pen plotter can run. G-Code Generator traces the image, shows the toolpath on screen and exports a ready-to-run file. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a photo or take one. The app traces it into clean toolpaths. • Choose a detail preset or fine-tune it, set the size and unit, and pick the sample count that controls quality. • Simulate the job: play, pause and scrub through every move, zoom in on the canvas, and see cuts and rapids in different colours. • Export the .gcode file and share it with your machine software. MACHINE PROFILE Set your bed size, unit, feed rate and pen or Z control once; every job uses it. Advanced options add start commands, line numbering, bed fill and circular interpolation. EDIT THE PATH (PRO) Tap, range-select or draw a box to remove the segments you do not want, undo, simulate again and export the edited G-code. A text editor lets you review and change individual lines. PROJECTS Every job is saved to your account. Free accounts see their latest 3 projects; Pro keeps the whole library. ACCOUNT, CREDITS AND PRO Generation runs on our servers, so the app asks you to sign in with Apple or Google and starts you with free credits. One credit pays for one step; a photo run costs 2. Free accounts see a small banner ad. • Credit packs of 15, 30 or 50 credits: one-time purchases that never expire. • G-code Pro: a weekly, monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Nothing costs credits, path editing and edited-G-code export are included, there are no ads, and your whole project library stays open. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your App Store account settings. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Available in 15 languages.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Camcut at none against G's 8. Camcut also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). G's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
