CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture) Software

Optimise Production with Professional CAM Software

Bilby3D provides CAM (Computer Aided Manufacture) software designed to control your 3D printer, CNC machine, or laser system with precision and efficiency. These tools convert your 3D models or CAD designs into machine-readable toolpaths (G-code), optimising motion control, material usage, and production time.

Our CAM software supports a wide range of machines, controllers, and workflows, offering advanced features such as multi-axis toolpath generation, nesting, slicing, and real-time simulation.
Whether you’re printing complex geometries, milling metal parts, or machining prototypes, these tools ensure accuracy, repeatability, and streamlined manufacturing.

Ideal for schools, makerspaces, and production environments, Bilby3D’s CAM solutions help bridge the gap between design and fabrication, enabling reliable end-to-end workflow integration.
All software is supported locally through Bilby3D’s Australian technical team for setup, training, and ongoing assistance.

Simplify3D Software - Digital Download

Simplify3D® is Integrated 3D Printing Software
Harness the power of your 3D printer and move up to better quality prints with Simplify3D® Software.
Import, repair, slice, preview and print… all from one integrated desktop application.
Simplify the process AND improve the end result. Both are possible!

Features:
- Build print files for a huge range of printers - all from one application which has both a quick and easy basic option AND an advanced option with control of more parameters than we have seen in any other software
- Support for printers from Printrbot, Makerbot, FlashForge, XYZprinting (DaVinci), Solidoodle, Ultimaker, Leapfrog, Airwolf, Lulzbot, Tinkerine, BFB, Rapman, Cubify, MendelMax and more. Full list here
- Unrivalled slicing performance: High speed slicing with great print quality
- Variable slicing settings: You can apply 40% infill at the base and 15% infill at the top, and change layer height at different heights in the model
- Advanced Multi-Part Printing: Even when printing multiple models at the same time, you can apply different settings for each model

Advanced Features:
- Intelligent support creation: You can create supports automatically, or add or remove them with the click of a mouse, or both!
- Variable slice settings: You can vary layer height, feed, speed, temperature and more within the one print job so you can achieve the perfect balance of speed and quality. With wood filament, you can vary the temperature during printing to create a wodgrain effect between layers

swMach3AddOn

Mach3 Addons for Mill Software License

These Addons require a licensed copy of Mach3 in order to function properly. Mach3 Addons for Mill is a solution for using Mach3s wizard capability to simplify the creation of G-Code files. This package will minimize the time it takes to go from start to part. A demonstration version of the Addons is included in the default Mach3 installation. This version allows you to run through the actual wizards, chaining operations and generating toolpaths. It will not, however, generate a Gcode file.
