Kind of sort of. It’s seems to be OK for 2D CAM like routers or lasers. I wouldn’t want to try even a barely complex multi axis part in a machining center.
Comment on Autodesk Fusion 360 is moving it's cloud storage to Fusion Hub. Upgrading is Mandatory

Yeah, looking at the wiki page for the cam workbench seems like it could probably handle VMC work, but even basic turning didn’t sound super well supported, let alone any kind of mill/turn or multi axis work.

Interesting, I hadn’t ever seen any discussion of cam side stuff in freecad, I might have to keep tabs on it a bit more. Looking at their wiki pages for the cam workbench it seems pretty far from adequate for my needs though.
