Hi,
I wonder is there any way to make 3d circular interpolation?
If I try something like this "G02 X1 Y1 Z1 I1 J1" I will have a "2.5d" circular interpolation. In both x and y axis it will be circular but in z it will be straight line interpolation. Is there any way to make it circular in all axis including z.
I am looking for that to improve my inkscape plug-in wich uses circular interpolation for flat curves, and I am thinking of invoking new function that will provide non static depht cutting.

Gcode is limited to arcs in xy(g17) zx(g18) and yz(g19)

This is one big reason the 3d CAM packages are popular... it takes a LONG file to get complex curves.
