Volex Labs / Forge / Cam profile generator — text to CAD.

Cam profile generator — text to CAD.

Describe the cam — base circle, lift, and the motion (rise, dwell, fall) with the follower type — and Volex Forge builds the profile and returns a STEP solid or a 1:1 DXF for machining or cutting.

The profile is generated from the motion law you name, so the follower moves the way you intended without hand-plotting points.

Frequently asked

Can I define the motion law?
Yes — name simple harmonic or cycloidal motion for the rise and return and Forge generates the matching profile.
Roller or flat follower?
Both. Tell Forge the follower type and it offsets the profile correctly for a roller.
Can I get a 2D DXF to wire-cut?
Yes — the profile exports as a closed 1:1 DXF as well as the STEP solid.
