    Free 2d cam software with bridge function?

    Hello!
    Have been searching for month and been trying many cam softwares but did not succed to find anything, so thought maybe some of you CNC guru's would know.
    I've been using BlenderCam all the time for all my projects in 3d and 2d, but now we are starting a small busines in signs manufacturing area. We are going to cut out uv printed signs out of alluminium and plastics, but here I got a problem. I want to cutout signs using bridge function (to prevent the tool to smash the cutted out product) and this function does not work in blender under Windows (under linux it works fine).
    Is there a free 2d cam software that can generate profile cutout g-code with bridge feature and works under windows ?
    Thanks!

    Maybe you'll try GrblGru. It can create g-code with bridge feature and works under windows. Maybe I can also customize it according to your wishes.

    You can find information about GrblGru in this forum a thread below your.

    Hey, thanks!
    This looks just what I need! Not many opensource softwares are still supported on these days, you do a great job!

    As long as you're making less than $100,000/year it's free. You just need to renew it yearly. If you're making more than $100,000/year, you should be able to afford it.
