Gcode is specifically designed for converting AutoCAD
drawings into G-Code files for use with any 2-D or 3-D.
Machine such as Wire EDMs, Laser Etchers, Flame cutting,
Milling machines, Lathes etc..
GCode can be used for creating individual complicated tool
paths for 2-D and 3-D machines. Custom INI files are used
to taylor Gcode to your particular machine tool.
Several working examples are provided.
Gcode is a low cost opportunity for small independent
machine shops to convert their drawings into useful
programs for their CNC and DNC equipment
without the hassle of figuring out the geometry manually.
Simply draw the outline of the part on a dedicated layer.
Then DXF out the file to a directory that Gcode is watching.
Gcode will capture the file, process, and plot it.
A full function editor is provided up to one million line capacity
to fine tune the file adding tool offsets etc.
Numerous other options such as flipping the part,
and scaling are provided.
'Swap' allows the direction of travel to be changed.
File transfer both in an out is supported so this system
can be hard wired to a machine tool via Rs232.
