Where it came from

2015: the first commit. ProfileCAD became JetCad in the browser, picked up its first paying customers, and was the CAD system recommended with every CNC plasma table Travis built.

2021: JetCad, LLC is organized, and JetCad 2 takes over as an offline desktop program. It became the CAD, CAM, and motion control for the fiber laser cutters Travis built.

Today: JetCad3 is a ground-up rebuild: CAD, CAM, electronics design, and machine control in one desktop app, with JC3-powered machines shipping through our OEM partner Promach Australia.

Every date, commit count, and release is on the timeline, read straight from git, including the branches that went nowhere.

People

Travis

Founder

Machinist and fabricator. He learned the trade at Oliver Machine in Adrian, Michigan, then ran a job shop that grew into an OEM building CNC plasma tables (around 100 shipped) and, later, fiber laser cutters. JetCad 2 was the CAD, CAM, and motion control on those machines. Today he runs every machine in his own shop on JetCad3: mill, plasma, router, laser, and designs for 3D printing.

Scott

Promach Australia · First OEM partner

Scott builds and sells JetCad3-powered machines from New South Wales. He has been planning JetCad3 with us for years, and a lot of the machine-side direction comes from his shop floor.

Zack & JJ

Early backers

Zack and JJ helped get JetCad 2 out the door. They still put new builds through their paces on their own machines.

Chuck

First financial partner · In memoriam

Chuck was our first financial partner, and he is the one who really convinced Travis that JetCad could be brought to where it is today. He believed in it early, backed it with his own money, and passed away in 2022. Everything on this site is built on that belief.

Not an overnight project

JetCad3 is the latest rebuild of software that has been running real machines since the browser era. It is developed by a machinist, used in a working shop, and backed by a registered company with a public filing and a public history.
