Automatic CNC toolpath generator for 2.5D parts

Autocut -- automatic toolpath generator for 2.5D solids

Note! This is prototype, don't expect it to work at all.

Requirements:

• python-vtk libboost-python-dev python-protobuf
• opencamlib (patched)
• libarea (compiled with clipper)

Comments

Opencamlib needs to be patched.

Checkout Opencamlib source code with:

git clone https://github.com/aewallin/opencamlib

The following patch should be applied:

--- a/src/ocl_geometry.cpp
+++ b/src/ocl_geometry.cpp

libarea should be compiled with clipper

Checkout libarea code with:

git clone https://github.com/Heeks/libarea

Then, compile like this:

make -f Makefileclipper
make -f Makefileclipper install

Licensing

Opencamlib is GPLv3, libarea is BSD, so this work is GPLv3 also.
