[Emc-users] gcmc - v1.4.0 - Now supportting multiple backends

2013-11-24 Thread Bertho Stultiens
Hi All, I've been incrementally improving gcmc to support more and more features for easier and more general use. The new 1.4.0 version is a larger step forward and includes multiple backends to output in G-code, SVG and DXF formats. This enables gcmc to be used not only for mills/lathes, but

[Emc-users] Is there an open source program similar to Vericut?

I like the idea of a 3D simulation of a CNC machine to verify there won't be any surprises when it comes to real milling. Vericut looks good, but I bet the price is also of matching quality. -- Shape the Mobile
