The toolpath for the first item I produced on my homebuilt CNC was produced with G-Simple. It is free and can be downloaded from here http://www.gsimple.gr/

Greetings,
Does anyone know a source of free or "Student Version" CAD/CAM downloads?
I am in the process of building my CNC machine and want to get used to drawing with a 3D cad Program now that can be used to guide the CNC. I use a 2D drawing program at the moment.
Thanks

From reading another thread I was just reminded about this one which again is free.

Also, I found a pretty good source myself. It is from Autodesk the makers of Autocad:
