operates more like a professional CAD/CAM suite. It uses an "Object" system where your Gerbers, geometry, and CNC jobs are separate entities you can manipulate independently. While this allows for complex operations—like merging multiple designs or editing individual traces—it can be "tedious" for users who just want a quick toolpath. 2. Feature Comparison FlatCAM: PCB Prototyping CAD/CAM
While both serve the same ultimate goal—transforming Gerber files into G-code—they take radically different approaches to the user experience, cost, and technical flexibility. Coppercam Vs Flatcam
