PathCAM2 - a 3d CAM gcode toolpath generator This tool read STL files and creates toolpaths for a 3d CNC machine.
This is an clone of the project https://github.com/xenovacivus/PathCAM . The origial is imperial. This clone will be metric.
The plan is to add/change the following:
- Convert to metric -> done
- Add fixed rotation buttons -> done
- Swap left and right buttons -> in progress
- Add material size and thickness -> done
- Add origin
- Add offset object to material top
- Add routing to remove all material above object
- Option to do only rough cutting
- Option to set mill type: round or square
- Lots of other things.....
I will regulary create a msi installer. Later on will find out how to do a svn to git commit of the source codes.
The file "PathCAM2.msi" contains the latest installer.
Cheers
Arnoud
