Hi everyone
I've just started my CNC project for graduation thesis, I'll create a simple CAM software to assist manufacturing on CNC milling machine, it'll be useful when you work with simple cutting contour, it's also free and light. The soft is programmed on VB.net
DXF to G-code is a module of the software. This module reads the data from dxf (Autocad Drawing eXchange File) and convert them to NC code. Up to now - in the first stage of the project, it can read a closed contour created from Lines and Arc.
If you like this, you can download to test it and give me some comments, i'm very glad :cheers:.
- The module is being improved so there are a lot of bug. I'll try to fix them and add more features such as:
+ Read ellip and spline curve
+ Cut off all the material out side or inside the contour.
+ Add Blank Properties and cutting parameters.
+ Fix unworking function (zoom, pan, preview...)
+ Add cut layers for cutting to a depth...
....
I'll reupload the soft when finished adding new features. Sorry for my bad English
Thank you all!
