Andy and others; 1) I run CamBam on my OSX machine - had to install a MONO framework, but it works. (found the instructions in the cambam forum)
The latest Linux release of CamBam is great - it runs on Ubuntu 14.04 really well - the previous release had some MONO framework issues. 2) I did use dxf2gcode, but I do find CamBam much easier to use for more complex 2D parts. So, I purchased CamBam. I do have some usage examples in my blog for anyone interested - see below for URL. 3) I did some engraving by opening a jpg file in LinuxCNC - worked great! 4) I did write cylinder-triangle intersection tests for a 3D viewer that I did (Open Source, even Apple distributed it for a while) and when run on the GPU they run really fast - it would be great for 3D tool path generation, but I'll let others do that. I did put some stuff on my "blog" about engraving, but I can't give a direct link to the posting, firewall issues... but the blog is http://cnc-for-model-engineers.blogspot.com and it should be easy to find as the engraving was done recently. (the blog is focused towards those with less experience than those on this email list, so do not expect nose-breaking technical algorithms, etc) JohnS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
