StepCAM 2

The StepCAM 2 application is a simple PCB format converter software. It converts the Excellon and HP-GL formats to G-code.

The application was written under the influence of StepCAM 1.79 by Sergey Efremov. The name StepCAM is saved with his permission.

Distinctive features of the new version

  • Modern interface with separation of milling and drilling parameters.
  • Automatic detection of number format in Excellon files regardless of Sprint-Layout export settings.
  • Number conversion using integer arithmetic only (no accuracy loss).
  • It is possible to automatically add arbitrary prologue and epilogue to the program code.
  • High speed of conversion.
  • Log of errors and warnings related to input data analysis.
  • The program is written in C++ using the Qt framework and can be built for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms.
  • The source code of the program is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License 3.

Lost features of the new version

  • Conversion of Sprint-Layout export files only.
  • Lack of built-in visualizer.
  • (Temporary) Absence of the conversion process indicator.
  • (Temporary) Lack of Russian localization.
