    DXF to G-Code

    Hi,
    Does anyone have any open source code for converting a dxf file to g-code? I would prefer Visual Basic 6.0 source code.

    Re: DXF to G-Code

    What you need is a CAM program, not a "converter". There are too many variables that go into a G-code program to simply assume you can just change the one file type into another. You need to specify the correct tool and how it relates to the part, tell the machine how fast to run and the spindle how fast to spin, post-process the file to work on your particular machine, etc. Running random generic G-code is usually a recipe for disaster.

    I have food.
    Give me the recipe.
    Seems logical :
