Just one question: Have you been able to make it work? That is, design a project in FreeCAD that has a few simple parts then produce g-code from those design files and actually make the part using EMC/Machine kit.
Could you tell us the workflow you use? And can it make full 3D parts on a four axis mill or is this limited to (say) 2 1/2 D parts? If there really is a simple workflow that goes from drawings to metal with linux I'd like to give it a try. Last time I tried to use all open source tools I was stuck at the point where I have a 3D design but could not turn that file into g-code. Maybe things have changed now? If you do have a full concept to metal cutting work flow On Wed, May 17, 2017 at 3:57 AM, giorgio foga <giorgiof...@hotmail.it> wrote: > you are in right .... but it is my surprise on that .... any how ...
