Round floating point values to specified precision. You can create custom post-processor by writing down the commands or choose from the list of default post-processors. Apply transforms according to arbitrary points. Tools can be managed by Inkscape's standard procedures (copy, delete, assigned to different layer). Defining different tool's parameters (diameter, feed, depth step, penetration feed, personal Gcode before/after each path, cutters shape, personal tool's changing Gcode). Building trajectory according to the cutter's shape. Two different computation functions for fine cut. Numeric suffix is added to generated files to avoid overwriting. Export Gcode in parametric of flat form. Automatic path subdivision to reach defined tolerance. Using circular (biarc approximation) or straight line interpolation.
(New features from previous version are marked with green) Here is the feature list of Gcodetools 1.6: So Gcodetools is a CAM extension which allows to export curves from Inkscape to G-code.īoth Inkscape and Gcode are free (they are licensed under GNU GPL) and cross-platform (they work on Windows, Linux and probably MacOS).
It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps and much more. Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface. Gcodetools is a CAM extension for Inkscape - open source vector graphics editor with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X.
Hi! I'm one of the developers of Gcodetools and I want to introduce it to you :).
