Apps and utilities
CNC programming
CNC IDE: edit with G/M tooltips, line inspector, control dialect conversion and 2D/3D toolpath views.
Upload the drawing, review geometry and generate the CNC program with AI. The core of GetGCode.
Calculate X/Y coordinates for a bolt circle (PCD/BCD), preview, CSV and G81/G83 drill cycles for CNC without CAM.
CNC alarm and troubleshooting guide. Enter the alarm code or symptom to find likely cause and corrective action.
Estimate CNC cycle time: cutting, rapids, canned cycles, dwells and tool changes. Parts/hour and breakdown — costs belong in the quoter.
Subspindle helpers: main→sub transfer, length after cutoff, parts per bar, Z1/Z2, dual Vc and parting calculations.
G and M code reference for CNC programming. Search and filter ISO commands by control, machine type or function.
Shop-floor trigonometry: right triangle, C-chamfer, countersink Z, sine bar, taper and missing print dimensions.
Quality & metrology
Upload a drawing, extract dimensions and GD&T with AI, and export your inspection/control plan as PDF or CSV.
Look up each print symbol: geometric tolerances (flatness, position, runout…), modifiers and shop interpretation tips.
Calculate ISO 286 hole/shaft fits (H7/g6, H7/h6, H7/k6, H7/p6 and more) with clear limits for the print.
Process & tooling
Programming, maintenance and quality questions with AI. Invite-only Pro beta — not open yet.
Material, times, margins and lot pricing in a guided shop workflow.
Estimate laser cutting from DXF or vector PDF: cut length, piercings, time and cost with your shop rates.
How many parts fit on a bar, bars needed for demand, and 1D nesting of mixed lengths with kerf and remnant.
Six threading helpers: tap-drill size, identify an unknown thread, CNC cycle data, method selection, insert repair and lathe shim plate.
Cutting & parameters
Recommended cutting speed (Vc), RPM, feed rates and theoretical surface finish for turning, milling, drilling and threading by material and tool. A solid starting point at the machine.
Live-tune Vc, diameter, RPM, feeds and pass time for milling, turning and drilling: linked scales, locks, material presets and power. Complements the cutting parameters calculator.
Materials
Convert shop hardness scales: HRC, HRB, HRA, HRD, superficial N/T, Brinell, Vickers, Knoop, Shore and tensile strength approximations.
Look up steel, stainless, aluminum, copper or superalloys by EN, DIN, AISI/SAE, UNE or trade name with shop-relevant notes.
Calculate ΔL, diameter growth, differential expansion between materials and retained stress. α from the materials catalog.
Frequently asked questions
What free CNC tools does GetGCode offer?
Cutting parameter calculators (Vc), ISO fits, threading, material equivalents, GD&T symbols, G/M code list, CNC alarms guide and the automatic job quoter. The GetGCode Viewer edits and simulates G-code; AI features are part of Pro.
What does Pro / AI mean in this hub?
Features that use language models: generate G-code from a drawing, process chat, control plans from drawings, Viewer AI tips/conversion and the CNC dialect converter. Pro AI tools are invite-only beta: you cannot use them yet without granted access.
How do I go from a calculator to the full workflow?
From the hub you can open the quoter, drawing→G-code generator or assistant. Many tools link into those products so you keep working inside GetGCode.
