The RAD Tool for CNC Lathe Programming. From DXF to G-Code in Minutes, Not Hours. 

Program Visually. Machine Confidently. Professional Power!  

FREE for Hobbyist - under 100mm diameter limit

Any machinist can learn it in one hour (watch our videos - all under 100sec), and it installs/removes with zero system clutter (no DLLs, no registry).

IT-Approved: Clean, portable installation. No system files touched. Removes without a trace

It's not about replacing Mastercam for 5-axis mills; it's about having a razor-sharp tool that's perfect for the lathe. Why use a sledgehammer when a scalpel will do?

Stop Wasting Billable Hours on CAM Training.

We don't over-engineer simple tasks to justify high prices and create vendor lock-in through complexity. Your machinists are artists. Stop forcing them to use bloatware. RapidTurnStudio is a precision tool stripped of nonsense. Get your machinists back to making parts, not navigating menus.

We built RapidTurnStudio on a different principle: Respect. Respect for your intelligence. Respect for your time. Respect for your wallet.

• Conversational Controls: You're stuck programming at the machine in a noisy, chaotic environment. The interfaces are cryptic, storage is limited, and they lock you into a single machine.
  
• Basic Text Editors: Writing G-code by hand is slow, error-prone, and offers no visual feedback. One typo can mean a crashed machine and a ruined part.
  
• Overkill CAM Software: Traditional CAM systems are expensive, complex, and often designed for milling, making simple lathe work feel unnecessarily complicated.

RapidTurnStudio is more than an editor; it's a Rapid Application Development (RAD) environment for G-code. We've built a tool that empowers you to create, visualize, and verify your lathe programs faster and more accurately than ever before.

• Visual G-Code Simulation: See your toolpath update in real-time as you scroll through your code. Catch errors before they reach the machine.
• Intelligent Code Editor: Syntax highlighting, auto-completion, and error checking for all standard cycles (G71, G72, G73, G74, G75, G76) make writing perfect code effortless.
• Seamless DXF Import: Simply import your part drawing (DXF) to jumpstart your programming process. No more manual coordinate calculations.
• Operation-Based Editing: Build your program through intuitive operations, not just lines of code. It’s the ease of conversational programming with the power and flexibility of G-code.
• Machine-Agnostic: Generate standard G-code that runs on any CNC lathe controller. Your programs are portable and future-proof.

• Our unique "Freemium" model is designed to empower the entire manufacturing ecosystem:
  
• For Hobbyists & Makers (FREE): RapidTurnStudio is completely free for parts up to 100mm in diameter. We believe financial constraints shouldn't stop creativity. Get professional-grade software at a price that can't be beat.
  
• For Professionals & Job Shops (Paid License): Power users and businesses with larger machines finance the development of this powerful tool. You get an incredibly efficient programming solution that pays for itself by saving you hours of machine-side programming and debugging.

• CNC Hobbyists & Makers looking for a powerful, free tool for their home shop lathe.
  Machinists & Programmers tired of clumsy conversational controls and wanting a faster, more visual way to program.
  
• Small Job Shops that need to generate accurate, reliable G-code quickly without a massive software investment.
