The slicing process for additive manufacturing (AM) involves many steps, including slicing the object to be printed and fitting toolpaths to each resulting layer. The toolpaths define the trajectories ...

Cura allows you to add some custom G-Code parts into your generated files. This can be very handy to setup some specific features of a printer, or to customize the way your printer starts according to ...

Even if your machine cycle times are shorter than average, there’s no reason not to strive for efficiency. Whether you parse through your code manually or use a G-code optimizer, improving your ...

Abstract: 3D printing is a revolutionary technology that enables the creation of physical objects from digital models. However, the quality and accuracy of 3D printing depend on the correctness and ...

Abstract: Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machines are more and more used for a variety of tasks such as milling, drilling, lathing, etc. As many CNCs are programmed using G-Code, it is of great ...

[legolor] brings us a great, cheap rotary axis to add to your small 3 axis CNC mills. How are you going to generate G-Code for this 4th axis? That’s the great part, and the hack, that [legolor] really ...

CAD/CAM packages typically show the X-axis in red, the Y-axis in green, and the Z-Axis in blue. The G-Code extension follows that pattern. The adaptive syntax feature allows you to choose any of the ...
