Description
MachPro is a modern CNC control platform and family of controls that let you run almost
any CNC machine from a standard Windows PC with industrial-grade motion performance and a highly customizable interface. It’s engineered to give makers, professionals, and job shops the freedom to control their machines with confidence, stability, and simplicity— whether they’re upgrading legacy equipment or building new machines.
Across the
MachPro line, the same core software powers
routers,
mills,
lathes,
plasma,
waterjet, and
specialty machines, so a shop can standardize on one control platform instead of juggling different systems. MachPro CNC control systems are designed for reliability, simplicity, and precise motion on every machine type, with options to run it on your own PC or get it pre-installed in the
Altair or Orion series CNC controls.

I’m a Mach4 user for several years now. Although it has all the functionality I need, the user interface always felt outdated to me. Adapting Mach4 to the controls on my cnc machine took me a long time, because I am no expert in LUA programming and I’d rather spend my time building parts than learning another scripting language. By accident, I stumbled across Mach Pro. Viewing the advertising video immediately shows that it seems to solve all the issues I had with Mach4. The UI is much better and the idea to make it fully configurable from sub menus makes my life so much easier.
In my opinion, there are only some minor things I would change. But this might be just personal taste. All in all, the ideas behind this new Mach version are really great and it improves the software in so many ways. For all the effort, they put into the new Mach Pro, I give them 5 stars. I’m sure, it will get even better.
The onky thing I might critisize is the current state of the documentation. It is still based on a lot of Mach4 stuff, which felt a bit unsettling to me. But all of this is still relevant and I know it takes time to change it. But it might be a bit confusing for new Mach users.
The price for a license is really fair and I prefer the options over the old hobby-industrial-model.
