Designing your product
Inkscape
In the 3D-world I prefer the simple OpenSCAD and in 2D it's the also fairly simple Inkscape which is free and awesome, too! ;)
- Basic usage is pretty easy, just try it. If in doubt, there's plenty of manuals and tutorials online
- Inkscape add CNC tabs
Creating GCODE
Overview
Tool | Still maintained | Ease of use | Functionality | Comment |
---|---|---|---|---|
JSCut.org | no | ***** | ***-- | Missing/broken tabs operation, otherwise great, especially for newbies! |
LaserWeb4 | yes | ***** | ***** | Similar zu JSCut, can do tabs (add them as path to/as svg and then to the tabs of the operation), AppImage/Binary for the popular systems. |
PyCAM | no | ? | ? | Still needs python 2.7 and seems to abandoned since 2019. |

Other Software (yet to test)
Sending GCode
What works fine for me:
- UGS (on my old T60 w/o visualization, might be an issue with the old machine)
- cncjs
- not tested yet: LaserWeb
- Links
- TBD
