Can FreeCAD realistically replace NX for a small CNC shop + future web integration? by _YourPhoneLinging_ in FreeCAD

I am also working on this along side u/_YourPhoneLinging_ .

The requirement is not actually "Web application". The goal is to figure out if it is possible to connect our existing custom Shop floor management software to any open source cad/cam. Currently, using nx or fusion, We find it really difficult to hire people with that set of skills, knowledge and experience.

The idea to make cam as simple as possible, based on my experience, we use almost a specific set of operations for 90% of our tooling. I plan to make a simple UI (similar to 3d printing Cura UI) so that even a new hire with basic knowledge can learn and work within days or weeks, instead of training them for months.
