- GMFC LIGHT, a version at a very low cost that provides functions to cut wings.
- GMFC PRO, everything you need for cuttings wings, fuselages or any shape.
- GMFC EXPERT, the high end version that ease the handling of complex DXF files.
- GMFC PE, the historic GMFC version that requires Windows 98.
