Hi all,

I have questions about standard format accepted by CNC, for CNC Plasma Cutting, I see DXF or GCode as the most common, any clue why LinuxCNC seems to accept only GCode?

What about tube bending?
What format use the CNC Tube bender?

I'm designing a CNC Tube bender, it's gonna be fully controlled by Servo motor.
The controlling part will be done using Arduino based PLC.

So i need to somehow pass the bending data, so what is the standard?
I was thinking it could probably be extracted directly from step file. Is it a common way?

is CNC bender accept Gcode or DXF or sonething else?

Thank you very much
