GCode Sentinel + NC Studio for macOS
The whole suite in one download. GCode Sentinel is the control platform — jog, 3D toolpath, part nesting, mesh mapping, job cycles, macros, vision safety, MCP for AI agents, and a built-in simulator so you can run everything before wiring a machine. NC Studio is the CAM half — STEP import with auto-setup, one-button rough-plus-finish toolpaths, a 3-view removal sim, and one-click hand-off into the controller. See what NC Studio does →
New in v1.2.0 — two-sided machining, indexed. Author indexing cuts in NC Studio: pockets that cut clean through the stock and carry their real toolpath to the opposite side. Cut one side, flip the part, and re-register to a hole the first side already cut — those reference walls show up white on the controller and pick in the Index wizard exactly like real cut edges, so the second setup lands dead-on the first. The combined Cut view shows the finished two-sided part as one solid with through-holes open from both faces. Also new: speed exclusions — circle any region or click any line to give it its own feed rate, composed right into the program.
GCode Sentinel for Windows & Linux
The same control platform on your shop PC. The Windows build already runs in internal testing; Linux follows it. Both arrive here as free beta downloads — drop your email above and we’ll tell you the day they land.
Windows Sender Agent
The companion that lives next to your controller: it owns the USB serial link and the robust streaming loop, plus the second serial port for the IO board. Your Mac — and your AI — drive it over LAN or VPN.
Vision Model Pack
One-command setup scripts that install llama.cpp and pull the vision model that powers setup checks and camera questions. Runs entirely on your Mac — any OpenAI-compatible vision endpoint works too.
Example Cycles & Programs
Working examples of automated job cycles: load-and-clamp scripts with vision checks, arm flip and re-clamp sequences, IO routines, and sample programs to run against the simulator on day one.
Hardware Bring-Up Guide
The safety-first path from unboxing to first cut: serial link, first motion, remote mode, IO wiring, alarm inputs, camera — each phase with explicit pass criteria before you move to the next.
