    Researchers for Adaptive Clearing wanted

    Hello. We've just completed our first attempt at making our funky Z-clearing algorithm work through a web-page for anyone to try out for free.

    http://www.freesteel.co.uk/cgi-bin/adaptiverough.py

    Don't all rush at once and drive our server into the ground, but feel free to try anything out. We'll try to keep it running and fix it when it crashes, but we can only do this during the day (local time in Liverpool).

    We've done our best with it, and now we're looking for some applicable suggestions, both on this web interface idea, and on the toolpaths themselves... if someone actually gets far enough to actually try cutting with them.

    to that subject...and his opinions are usually wright.

    It's working again

    The first person to try it broke the system by uploading a file with spaces in it. The problem is now fixed. Please have another go.

    Yes, this lack of compatibility between firefox and internet explorer is a problem. You almost have to write completely different versions of the javascript software to cope with it. As explained in the FAQ, we have limited resources and can only make it work for one browser at a time. Since firefox is free to download and can be used on Windows, Mac, and Linux, there is no technical barrier to anyone using it, and it is very good (it has tabbing!). I console myself that people who are instinctively averse to trying out new browser software for free probably won't like what we're doing anyway.
