Hi,
Numerical Control - a gcode program that openSCAM or some other nc cam
program would generate.
I would like to use openSCAD to machine the part virtually in the same
manner Vericut does - only with open source code.
thanks
Stuart

Hi,
I have NCL by NCCS to do nc programming. It generates nc code like a lot of
other nc programming systems.
I have a verification package inside NCL but it uses the ncl program to
verify the motion around the model.
I want to use the nc code that is loaded into the machine (after the post
processor) to do the verification. That will eliminate any possible post
processor errors. I would also like to build the machine components,
fixture components and tooling components to allow the verification package
to check for interference between those components.
thanks
Stuart

OpenSCAD isn't a CAM program; it doesn't convert 3D models to tool
paths or generate g-code. It also doesn't read g-code, or any other nc
code variant.

I am not asking to see if it generates a CAM program. My software does that.

I want to be able to use openSCAD to open a CAM program.
Read it line by line.
Use the read lines as input to openSCAD to remove material from a block or
model to simulate the machining process.

If no one has attempted this with openSCAD then I want to explore this
capability.
If someone has done this or is working on this then I want to contribute as
much as I can.

thanks

I would start by writing an nc code interpreter which converts each linear movement into an OpenSCAD primitive,
then generate an OpenSCAD file containing the block and all subtracted primitives.
This will likely be extremely slow, but it could be worth a shot.

Is there scripting capability in openSCAD to do this or would it be a
separate program outside?
Perl would be able to do this. There are other string manipulation scripts
also.
Thanks

Stuart,
Do you envision working 2.5D type toolpaths, 3D or 3D with tool axis varying?
Working up some code to generate OpenSCAD commands should be pretty
straightforward for 2.5D toolpaths. The 3D and tool axis stuff may be pushing
things a bit. Also, how many tool points do you envision processing at one time?

I need multiaxis verification.
It should not be much more difficult than two or three axis work. The cam
program gives the tool end point and tool axis. With the next point it is
easy to construct matrix to correctly postion the model of the tool for the
boolean removal.
