No, I was actually working with an OEM who sold a sign software package
that generated Gcode (very expensive). The problem was that their
software generated way too many short segments for no good reason which
caused problems

But, LinuxCNC does not do arbitrary arcs, but only arcs in one of the three

How hard would it be to add that? It would require 3 coordinates for
each of start, end and center point.

Others have stated that arcs must be in one of three orthogonal planes.
Since linuxcnc can do helices, that isn't precisely true.
A helix is a special case, where an arc in one of the 3 defined planes

It seems to me that the likelihood of fixing all of the methods of gcode
generation such that they don't generate short line segments is
approximately zero. Also, it seems that even if a proprietary LinuxCNC
gcode extension allowed arbitrary plane arcs, splines, etc. that the

My experience with steppers is that once you lose sync with the rotor at
speed, you have to slow down tremendously to regain sync with the rotor.
So once you start slipping, you

You can run heavy duty machines with steppers, but then the
performance will suffer - You will have to leave big safety margin in

Is the one-line lookahead statement also true blended paths?
And how does it apply to splines?
I find all this quite surprising, even grbl does lookahead over all the
lines in the buffer (and hence has a latency while trying to pause or stop)
Does somebody know if this diagram is whats linuxcnc

I suppose this affects the shape of the calculated path in some cases?

This is very interesting, we are planning to.start using linuxcnc some time
in near future. We mainly mill organic shapes, such as 3DProcessing scanned

I went though this exercise on a vinyl cutter application doing a lot of
fine cutting details a few years ago. What I found is that if you want
to do a lot of fine work quickly you really need to work on your 3D cam
software to do curve fitting on the output.
The only alternative to that is
Thanks for your responses.
It seems I have to give LinuxCNC a closer look.
There is a low cost commercial alternative in MACH 3.
I guess you have an opinions on that system too?
I know it's based on Windows with some kind of realtime extension who
doesn't sound too good in ears.
