Re: [Emc-users] HeeksCAD and HeeksCNC
ah, this is bad news. I needed the 3D and CAM functions. Most, if not all, of the 3D operations in heekscnc call opencamlib. Opencamlib (https://github.com/aewallin/opencamlib) is a c++ library with python bindings for axial and radial projection of cylindrical, spherical, toroidal, and conical tools onto polyhedral surfaces. The axial cutter-projection, aka. drop-cutter, code has been pretty stable for a while. The radial, push-cutter, code which is used for waterline-toolpaths is not as good. When we have a lot of push-cutter results we need to hook these up in a sensible way, using some kind of area-model, to form the toolpath. What I'm using now[1] is called a ray intersection graph[2] I think, but it seems a quad-tree based approach[3] might be better. I think a lot of 3D and 2.5D capability can be built on top of these drop-cutter and push-cutter low level functions. I'll try to support integration of opencamlib into FreeCAD as best I can.

On Sunday, November 27, 2011 02:11:03 PM s...@highlab.com did opine: The Heeks project is officially shutting down, and they are suggesting that users move to the Freecad project. Unfortunately, Freecad does not yet have any cam support, so you can draw parts but you can't make gcode tool paths yet. That sucks. HeeksCNC might be ported to Freecad? Depending in the license of course, but re-inventing wheels is a bit boring. So I head off to go see if I can build freecad, but an hour later, on pclos, no. The QT Webkit dependencies (-devel stuff) is missing from the pclos repo's so build.sh terminates: checking whether QtWebKit is available... no checking for Qt = 4.3... configure: error: Cannot find Qt meta object compiler (moc), bye... QTWebkit is installed (as libqtwebkit) but no -devel files are in the repo. Damn this sucks. However, it does appear that freecad is in far better shape than heekscad for available dox. That file alone is 26 megs in the tar.bz2 I pulled. Sigh, while I appreciate the near absolute stability of pclos, stuff like this has me burning Centos6 disks. I have a machine I call goat cuz its sacrificial, so I think its next install is on those 2 dvd's now.

Really a shame to get Heekscnc this far and let it fall off the map. I am just a modeler in my garage and after looking at all the 3D CAM offerings on the Wiki list, Heekscnc was the easiest for ME to understand though after watching every YouTube vid and any and all help I could find I just wish there was more users to toss issues around with to learn more. For a hobbiest like me, spending hundreds or even thousands on CAM software isn't going to happen so I of course really appreciated the Open Source price point of free.
