Re: What is .ncp file from isy-cam software and can FreeCAD path export .ncp?

It seems ncp is the "g code" version from Isel.

If someone writes an post processor for FreeCAD, you could also create ncp files. But currently there is no PP available.

FreeCAD operations currently offer few options for how to enter the tool path. The majority of operations rapid over the start point and then plunge down into the stock, with no available configuration. Adaptive toolpaths helix down to the start point, with various knobs available to configure the ...

Because LinuxCNC doesn't run on Windows. LinuxCNC is a Linux Distribution aka an entire operating system.

And according to the website, it uses isyCAM 2.8 as control software. On the website of Isel i could find version 3.6.
