The main work happens on GitHub, you can get the latest version at https://github.com/SebKuzminsky/pycam/archive/refs/tags/v0.6.4.zip or an older version at https://sourceforge.net/projects/pycam/files/pycam/0.6.1/pycam-0.6.1.zip/download

But there isn't any executable for Windows, PyCAM is written in Python which is an interpreted language.

I see, thank you! I guess that I got confused by the Source Forge page over here saying that I can Use the standalone executable for Windows. Should it be changed?

Yes, but I am not the author. The author seems to have abandoned the project, but we are still able to use it "as is".
