What is FireCam?

I purchased my Gen1 with Mach 3 and SheetCam I use Fusion 360 for designing. Now in the downloads section there is FireCam coming soon. Does anyone know what it will replace or aid another software.
I just recently purchased Draftsight for 199.00, and as per the website it says you can do a design, save the file, hit on a G-code icon, it automatically creates a g-code for your design. I will work with it more and try to find out how to load it into Mach 3 to cut out my design. I purchased textbook on Amazon for the program and will learn more through a ton of you tube videos available.

I don’t see that anywhere. Can you provide a link? Net: Never heard of it.

There is no mention of Firecam in the downloads section.

Langmuir mentioned that they were working on it in a forum post from 2019.

Leave it to you to find that rather obscure reference. Do ya suppose that’s been there since 2019 and no one noticed it or is a webpage designer posting an update prematurely???

I’ve linked that software page to people 600 times on this forum site so I had a pretty good idea where to look.
How old it is I don’t know?

At least someone else saw where I saw it. Thanks for posting the diagram so others can see it. Since my major stroke in 2019 I have problems remembering how to load things in to cut, I find myself trying to find a easier way to use my Gen1 cutter.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen a beta or anything about it. Sure would beat using CamBam with some janky tricks or fusion360 with no rapids :grin:

Any updates on FireCam?

Not gonna happen

Have some faith, my friend. It is just a small, strung-out company. After the Titan sales get caught up, we will see. I believe that it exists but has been tabled for now.

From March 2022? Yeah.

Good for you! We should all be so confident! All they need is a valid business case to develop their own CAM tool. :rofl: :rofl: :roll_eyes: :heart_eyes:

Tom, you’re so negative :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’m not negative. I’m a realist. There is absolute no reason for them to develop their own tool, which can’t possibly have any advantage over existing ones, unless they find a means to lock the user in to a CrossFire system. And, it’s got to be free, or nearly so. And how is that going to pay for the support staff they need to maintain it?

However, when they ship the first version, I will send you a bottle of your favorite bourbon. Note that it must be your ‘favorite’ everyday bourbon. I’m not including Blanton’s Reserve in that offer!
