Interactive, or conversational G-Code Generators allow one to fill out a descriptive dialog which informs a program on how to generate the G-Code to perform a given task.
List of generators
DeskEngrave is a simple to use True Type Font to vector convertor, the results being saved as a dxf file, or G-codes. It can convert a single line of text into the required toolpaths for engraving, aligned on an arc or a straight line. MetaVector CNC Free OnLine DXF to Gcode Converter for cnc machine art, cnc router, engraver, sign cutter, plasma torch, laser, etc. Use Browse to select a dxf file on your computer. Interactive G-code generators: Programs to write G-Code (RS-274D) Utility programs to create optimal, yet general, G-Code toolpaths for commonly used machining operations. Interactive G-code generators: Bolt Circle G-Code Generator: Javascript G-Code Generator. Online G-code generator: Text to CNC: Generates G-code online for text engravings. Typeface for CNC Machines - Text to Gcode Function: I draw a typo with. Gcode!More concretely, I wrote a Matlab script who transform a string of characters into a path for CNC machines. This typo is made of arcs and strait lines and takes account of the milling process. For example the vertical lin. Looking for a program to convert text to g-code for engraving I currently use desk engrave but it only uses block letters. I'm looking for an engraving program that will program in single line letters.
Type | Name/Link | Description |
---|---|---|
Python graphical front-end | Python scripts w/ graphical front ends to: drill grill arrays, engrave bezels or text, cut pockets, &c. | |
Python graphical front-end | CNC Online (Hugomatic) | Useful interactive G-Code routines. Based on Hugomatic generator Python library |
TCL/TK graphical front-end | CP1 | Conversational front-end to generate G-Code for: rectangular and circular pocket milling, bolt circles, hexagonal and rectangular arrays of holes, and bezels. |
Drill holes (Python) | gDrill | Python script that takes a series of (x,y) coordinates from a text file and converts them into a G-Code tool path that drills a hole at each of the given coordinate locations.[2] |
Interactive G-code generators | Perl script by twforeman | Perl script to generate an array of holes |
Interactive G-code generators | Python program and CNC library by AnthonyB | Capabilities include: drill holes, mill lines, rectangles with inside and outside profiles, filled rectangles (pockets?) and dogbones (I think that's the term - so you can insert rectangles without having to worry about rounded corners). Announced in Re: What are people using for CAD / CAM design work? |
