Decision engine
Configure the setup
Set the job, holder, and cutting strategy fast. Open advanced fields only when needed.
CNC Command Center
Free machining tools, virtual toolbox products, and a direct path into the FreeCNC marketplace.
Check RPM, tap drill sizes, conversions, setup helpers, AI manufacturing tools, and live shop inventory from one place. FreeCNC is being built as a serious digital workspace for machinists, programmers, students, and growing shops.
Made for machinists, operators, setup techs, students, and people trying to break into CNC.
Useful on the floor, in class, and while building a smarter toolbox for the next move.

Virtual toolbox
Virtual toolbox
Real products layered around the flagship engine
The free engine stays live on the page. The toolbox is the sellable layer around it: saved setup intelligence, repeat-use templates, print support, and the premium AI products that come after the first cash layer is working.
Locked until workspace save
Toolbox workspace open
Speeds & Feeds Pro Workspace
Closest paid upgrade from the live engine
Macro generator starter templates
Fast utility pack with immediate shop value
Blueprint interpretation starter pack
Training and review product with broad demand
Machinist Brain
Premium moat product after the first cash layer
Print-to-CAD Lab
Higher-complexity workflow product
Cindy watchlist and deals
Market intelligence layer after core utilities
Build and sell first
First cash layer around the free engine
These are the products that should monetize first because they are closest to the live tool and easiest for machinists to understand and buy.
Workspace product
Priority 1
Machine-aware setup
Speeds & Feeds Pro Workspace
Saved setup defaults, exportable recommendation sheets, source trace, and machine-specific setup memory built on the live engine already running on the page.
Why first: it is the cleanest paid upgrade from the free flagship and turns existing usage into a workspace product people can justify fast.
Use the flagship engine
Template pack
Priority 2
Control-ready macros
Macro generator starter templates
Bolt circles, drilling patterns, repeat templates, and control-ready macro starting points.
Why second: it is compact, useful, and easy to ship as a paid utility pack while the workspace product is being proven.
Unlock template lane
Training pack
Priority 3
Blueprint interpretation
Blueprint interpretation starter pack
Print-reading shortcuts, GD&T support, and structured print understanding for faster shop review.
Why third: it gives broad buyer appeal across students, operators, and newer programmers without depending on deeper AI infrastructure first.
Unlock support packBuild after the first cash layer
Premium products that deepen the moat
These are the stronger differentiators, but they deserve the second wave after the simpler workspace and utility products are earning.
AI troubleshooting
Priority 4 live
Machining intelligence
Machinist Brain
Ask about machine codes, alarm paths, and controller issues in plain language for the first promptable troubleshooting layer across Haas, Fanuc, and Siemens manuals.
Why fourth: this is the premium flagship moat, but it is strongest once the simpler cash products and customer data loops are already working.
Open Machinist Brain
Print workflow
Priority 5
Print workflow
Print-to-CAD lab
Print ingestion, OCR extraction, feature review, and the path toward CAD-ready handoff.
Why fifth: the upside is strong, but the workflow is heavier and benefits from the Brain, document handling, and customer trust already being in place.
Market intelligence
Priority 6
Buying signal layer
Cindy machine watchlist and deals
Fresh machine listings, tooling deals, price watch, and curated buying signals that help the shop side of the platform turn into daily utility.
Why sixth: it is valuable, but it makes the most sense after the core setup and troubleshooting products already have repeat users.
Jobs
Open the dedicated metro jobs desk
The daily jobs report now lives on its own page so the landing surface can stay focused on the live engine, the virtual toolbox, and the marketplace.
