PC-based 6-axis CNC control system for mills, routers, lasers, and plasma cutters, running on GRBL control boards. Supports USB, WiFi & Ethernet connections.
CNC control software for 2 to 6-axis mills, routers, lasers, and plasma cutters running GRBL firmware. Features a highly optimized asynchronous (event-driven) UI, supports WiFi and USB-to-Serial communication, and runs smoothly even on low-spec systems with limited RAM and CPU.
Focus is PC-based CNC control software designed around GRBL-compatible controllers. It gives you a clean control environment for connecting to the machine, sending G-code, jogging axes, setting work coordinates, and monitoring CNC jobs.
The interface keeps the most important control tasks visible, so the operator can move from connection to machine control without switching between disconnected tools.
Focus is built to sit between your prepared toolpath and the real CNC machine motion. Load a G-code file, preview the job, connect to the controller, check the machine state, and start the job from one focused control interface.
This makes the CNC workflow easier to follow, especially when moving from CAM output to actual machine operation.
Focus is the recommended SourceRabbit control software for Rabbit Board 4-Axis. Together with Rabbit GRBL firmware, it creates a complete workflow from PC-based CNC control to reliable STEP/DIR motion signals.
Use Focus to control the job, Rabbit GRBL to handle the motion firmware layer, and Rabbit Board 4-Axis to connect that workflow to real CNC electronics.
Focus supports controller communication over USB, WiFi, and Ethernet, depending on the capabilities of the CNC controller and firmware configuration.
This gives you the flexibility to use a direct serial connection on a workbench setup, or a network connection when the controller is installed inside a machine enclosure.
Focus is not just a simple file sender. It is designed around everyday CNC operation, with controls for machine movement, job execution, status feedback, coordinate setup, and practical workflow handling.
Remote jog control support also makes machine positioning easier when the operator needs to stand closer to the CNC machine instead of staying at the PC.
Focus is made for CNC users who want a practical control interface for GRBL-compatible machines: makers, small workshops, education labs, machine builders, and SourceRabbit controller users.
It is especially useful when you want a clear PC-based control layer that works together with proven GRBL workflows and SourceRabbit CNC controller hardware.
Focus is SourceRabbit's PC-based CNC control software for operating GRBL-compatible CNC controllers. It is designed for sending G-code, controlling machine motion, and managing common CNC workflow tasks from a clean desktop interface.
Focus is designed for GRBL-compatible controllers. It works with SourceRabbit controllers such as Rabbit Board 4-Axis, and with other controllers that follow the GRBL communication workflow like FluidNC, grblHal, grbl for Arduino/AVR etc.
Yes. Focus supports CNC controller connections over USB, WiFi, and Ethernet, depending on the capabilities of the controller and firmware you are using.
Yes. Focus is the recommended SourceRabbit control software for Rabbit Board 4-Axis. The board comes with Rabbit GRBL firmware pre-installed, making it suitable for Focus-based CNC control workflows.
Yes. You can use RabbitCAM to prepare CNC toolpaths and then use Focus to send and control the generated G-code on a GRBL-compatible CNC machine.
No. Focus is designed around GRBL-compatible communication, so it can be used with compatible third-party GRBL controllers as well. For the best tested SourceRabbit workflow, it is recommended with Rabbit Board 4-Axis and Rabbit GRBL.
Focus is desktop CNC control software. An internet connection may be useful for downloads, updates, or license-related actions, but normal machine control is intended to run locally between the PC and the CNC controller.
Focus supports Windows, macOS, Linux and Raspberry Pi OS on Raspberry Pi 2 or later.
No. Focus license is bound to the processor.
No. Focus license is bound to the processor.
No. Purchasing a license for Focus gives you access to all subsequent versions of the software.
