CNC Path is an iPhone and iPad workspace for CNC professionals and learners to manage, edit, OCR-import, and visualize supported CNC programs. Key features: - Create, organize, import, and export CNC programs in a local Program Library - View and edit CNC program text with a mobile-friendly editor - Import programs from camera or images with on-device OCR and review the result before saving - Look up CNC instructions and their current support boundaries - Run lightweight toolpath simulation for supported basic instructions - Use OCR, import/export, syntax checking, and advanced macro-program, fixed-cycle, and arithmetic-expression simulation The Program Library, editing, instruction reference, and ordinary supported simulation remain free. OCR, import/export, syntax checking, macro programs, fixed cycles, and arithmetic-expression simulation require an active trial or membership. The seven-day trial starts only when selected and does not renew or charge. Monthly and Pro Lifetime Unlock prices are shown by the App Store. CNC Path provides auxiliary toolpath visualization only. It does not guarantee collision detection, machining safety, or complete real-machine verification. Users must manually verify OCR results and CNC programs.
