Cahaba Studio: CAD/CAM with an editable model history
A Windows desktop CAD/CAM program for parametric parts, scan-based reconstruction, and maker workflows.
- For
- Windows-based makers designing or inspecting real parts
- Worth noticing
- A worn pillow-block scan is shown moving through region detection, section tracing, and a deviation-colored model comparison.
Field notes
The feature descriptions center on a history-based model: sketches retain constraints and dimensions, and changing a parameter rebuilds downstream geometry. For scan work, the page shows a worn pillow-block bearing housing moving through Auto Regions, section tracing, and a deviation-colored comparison; it also depicts a spindle-aligned toolpath. The site says a license includes 12 months of updates, after which the installed version remains usable. Milling and lathe CAM are explicitly marked experimental or in development.
