Package: viaconstructor
# viaConstructorOpenSource CAM-Tool to generate gCode from DXF,SVG and HPGL-Files## Known Issues:
* beta - version
* &gt;= Python-3.9
* running on Linux, OS-X and Windows
* may be unstable on Windows
* problems with some OpenGL versions (black 3D-View)
* tabs on circles sometimes broken
* slow on very big files## Features:3D-PreviewTabs and Pockets with IslandsHeadless-Support to generate gcode on the consolethe preview of the milling path is generated by the original gcode data using a simple gcode-interpreterthe offsets are calculated internaly, no offset-support in the cnc controller is neededthe gcode-interpreter can be used externaly to generate thumbnails and previewsthe dxf-reader can be used externaly to generate thumbnails and previewsautomatic offset finder (inside/outside)automatic order of multiple parts (nearest first)nested parts will milled in the right order (inside parts first)can read DXF, SVG, HPGL and STL (cross section)Truetype-Fonts to generate simple Textgenerates gCode and HPGL output## demo-video
