ATTACH CAMERA. START BUILDING.

Webcam mounts to spindle with one adapter screw.

Paper Tools is like full self-driving for CNC. As fast and direct as your manual tools—measure and mark your material like the good old days.

All the code to make your cuts is generated without touching CAD or CAM. Or, bring your own GCode and get to work.

You can use any tool on any material with your CNC router, mill, plasma, laser and more.

Print on transparent paper, so you can see through your Paper Tool and precisely locate your cut.

READY. SET. BUILD.

  • Stay in your flow, skip the CAD and CAM by using your Paper Tool and quickly cutting a slot, bore, pocket, contour, frame, even custom shapes. You’ll be amazed how your precision CNC machine becomes as fast to use as your drill press or table saw.

  • The video camera “sees” your marks, then autopilots your CNC to find their precise position, with repeatability of +/- 0.002”. You can tweak any position or type exact coordinates.

  • Whether you’re a GCode master, CAD wizard, or CAM guru, Paper Tools integrates with your existing process: import your GCode and cut anywhere on your material, even squeezing into odd shapes and orientations.
