Brainstorm with AI · Design in parametric CAD · Ship marketing renders · Generate 5-axis CAM · Stream G-code to your machine — all in one tab, all in the browser.
Real parts flowing through the full lifecycle — from a prompt in the morning to a finished part and customer feedback on the same platform.
Start with a prompt — "M4 flange with 6 bolt holes on a 40 mm PCD" — and watch it materialise in 3D. Upload a napkin sketch, a photo of a worn part, or a competitor's product, and the AI Copilot infers an editable parametric model.
Eight template families ship ready to parametrise. Everything else is generated by Claude, Gemini, or Groq.
Sketch, extrude, revolve, sweep, loft, fillet, chamfer, shell, boolean, pattern — the full Fusion 360 surface, minus the install, the annual licence, and the "quit everything to update" dance.
A real B-rep kernel on OpenCascade.js. Thirteen sketch tools with twelve constraint types. Assemblies with seven joint types. Every feature is parametric and scriptable.
One-click exploded views. Photoreal renders against any scene, driven by Gemini's image model with your CAD geometry preserved. Annotations, measurements, section cuts, AR walkthroughs — all in a shareable URL.
No PDF roundtrips. No render farm licence. Your customer sees exactly how the product goes together.
Pentacad turns your cycleCAD model into 3+2 strategies tuned to the Pentamachine V2 kinematics. Twelve strategies from 2D contour to radial scallop finishing. An integrated 5-axis simulator replays the toolpath with collision and material-removal check before a chip flies.
The post-processor emits the exact Pentamachine .ngc dialect — G20 imperial, G93 inverse-time feed, A/B rotary, up to 40 000 RPM.
A Docker bridge runs next to your machine on the shop LAN. The browser streams G-code over local WebSocket; live DRO, spindle load, probe data, and alarms stream back. Pause, resume, jog, feed override — from any device on the network.
Safety is hardware-first. E-stop always wins. Every command is logged and replayable. Nothing leaves your LAN unless you opt in.
Each product works standalone. Together they cover everything.
The modelling core. Sketch, solid, assembly, surfacing, constraints — all browser-native.
Any STEP file into an interactive 3D presentation — exploded, annotated, AR-ready, AI-rendered.
Browser-based 5-axis CAM, G-code simulator, and live machine control for desktop CNC.
Use cycleCAD to design. Use ExplodeView to present. Use Pentacad to machine. Or use all three in sequence — the suite is built to flow.
Every CNC shop I know runs the same five tools every day — SolidWorks or Fusion, Mastercam or HSM, a simulator if they can afford one, a proprietary post, and some patchwork control software. Switching between them wastes hours. The cycleCAD Suite is what happens when you refuse to accept that.
