Announcing OpenSCAM a 3D CNC simulator

[Joseph Coffland]

LinuxCNC Developers,

I would like to announce a new Open-Source CNC simulation software.

http://openscam.com/

I've been working on this off and on for the last 8 months. I still
consider the software to be in alpha but the code is fairly mature. There
is a graphical user interface and documentation on the Website.

Whether you have success or failure using this software I'd love to hear
about it and see the G-code files you are simulating. I will be glad to
help anyone resolve any problems they may encounter when using OpenSCAM.

You can email me directly at joseph-***@public.gmane.org

I'm very interested to hear your feedback.

Regards,

Joseph

(I'm impressed !)


Now I know this isn about simulation, still:

I suggest anybody interested in interpreter issues give the source a strong look, there's some fresh ideas here (plus style ;-):

- the interpreter lexically and syntactically understands pretty much all of the current Linuxcnc rs274ngc language
- it parses the whole program into an AST and executes off the AST (!!)

Joseph: I would very much be interested in excising the interpreter in a standalone command line version pretty much like sai (aka rs274), for now simply with the goal to understand its workings and dependencies.

(hoping I understood enough of it so I dont have my foot-in-mouth)

ps: see http://openscam.com/browser/trunk/openscam/src/openscam dirs ast, parser, sim, gcode

here's a demo video:

this makes me thing about a 'next generation toolpath preview' in linuxcnc
