Arthur, This isn't my field, but I thought I'd seen something that at least fills part of this chain. The OpenBuilds-CAM and OpenBuilds-CONTROL software are AGPL https://github.com/OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CAM https://github.com/OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL Are these not part of the toolchain you're talking about here? The CAM software description says it takes SVG, DXF or Bitmap and produces GCODE for sending to CONTROL, which controls some machines. This does not seem to meet all of the toolchain you need, but it seems to fill at least part of it. -- Dr Andrew A Adams a...@meiji.ac.jp Deputy Director of the Centre for Business Information Ethics Meiji University, Tokyo, Japan http://www.a-cubed.info/ _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
