BlenderCam is a program which will convert blender 3d directly to GCode
it is still in development and has quite a steep learning curve if you
haven't used blender before. It will import stl files so can convert
FreeCam files. If anyone tries it watch out for the Blendercam
standard units

I've fixed and potrace'd to an eps file that looks ok when imported into
gimp, of the handle outline of the cocking piece in a BP rifle. I was
under the impression that we had something that could take this .eps file
and make gcode out of it, but I'll be dipped if I can recall its name.

For going from EPS to gcode I use PyCAM. Bit of a learning curve, couple of
wrinkles, but works well once you get past that.

I was looking at Gcodetools for inkscape last night.
Its actively supported by Nick off the russian forums. I was looking to
import an HPGL file to eps through inkscape and out with gcodetools. I am

The wiki discusses gcodetools v1.2 . Its already upto v1.7

The Wiki is out of date on many topics related to CAD/CAM :-(
My plan is to figure it out then see what I can do about
updating the wiki. Gotta figure it
