RapidCam solves the problem I had where I wanted to make parts without having to fully 3D model them first. There are other apps that work in 2d but they tend to be either complicated or not parametric. My initial task was to cut out and pocket cabinet doors and drawer fronts of various sizes. Now I can design the shapes and assign toolpaths for the CNC; then for the next door, I just need to change a few variable values and the design adjusts.
Paint point on most systems is the camera itself. Seems like every Chinese ip camera has some 'ecosystem'. Does you system use any cameras other than Raspberry Pi?
I got tired of the paywall surrounding cabinet design so I created https://cabinet.mycnc.app. Just finished validating the door / drawer front gcode generator by milling a kitchen's worth of doors on a hobby grade CNC.
My thinking was that the money I saved doing the cabinets myself would be enough to pay for the Sienci Labs Longmill that I bought for the project.
I got tired of the money wall around cabinet design so I am working on https://cabinet.mycnc.app. Some very alpha features still but getting there.
Making cabinets is not that hard but the industry charges insane amounts of money for it. Since I have to make cabinets for two kitchens I invested in a Sienci Labs CNC so when the cabinets are done I'll have saved money and gotten a CNC out of it which I can then sell or use for other things.
Or we could let parents raise their own damn kids without making our lives worse. Parents can sign up for parental monitoring or better yet spend some time with their kids.

A CNC simulator that runs in the browser or as a PwA. I wrote this mostly for myself to compliment a g-code sender I am also working on https://mycnc.app/ . The simulator has some basic g-code and cut verification and analysis built in with more to come.
I am learning hobby CNC having come from the 3D printer world and I found that the CNC software is considerably more complex than today's 3D printer software.
CNC seems to be the next hobbyist maker boom with the likes of Makera and Nestworks having very successful Kickstarters.
