OpenSource CAM-Tool to generate gCode from DXF,SVG and HPGL-Files
- beta - version
- >= Python-3.9
- running on Linux, OS-X and Windows
- may be unstable on Windows
- problems with some OpenGL versions (black 3D-View)
- tabs on circles sometimes broken
- slow on very big files
- 3D-Preview
- Tabs and Pockets with Islands
- Headless-Support to generate gcode on the console
- the preview of the milling path is generated by the original gcode data using a simple gcode-interpreter
- the offsets are calculated internaly, no offset-support in the cnc controller is needed
- the gcode-interpreter can be used externaly to generate thumbnails and previews
- the dxf-reader can be used externaly to generate thumbnails and previews
- automatic offset finder (inside/outside)
- automatic order of multiple parts (nearest first)
- nested parts will milled in the right order (inside parts first)
- can read DXF, SVG, HPGL and STL (cross section)
- Truetype-Fonts to generate simple Text
- generates gCode and HPGL output
