Hi,

I mean, FreeCAD uses a lot of Python, but at its core it uses open cascade as well. It wouldn’t surprise me if you found some devs who know a good amount about it in the overall community.

Yes, you're right. Didn't though of that.
So what do you mean with gitter chat? I'm a noob with chat things

Gitter is basically just a fancy chat client that some open source projects use. You can access it on your browser. You can use your GitHub account to login to it as well if you want. gitter.im/FreeCAD/FreeCAD?utm_source=sha..._campaign=share-link  

It is linked to their IRC chat too, which I believe is on the Libera server if I remember correctly. 

Just know that I found this thread and project because someone from the LCNC community posted it in FreeCAD’s Path workbench gitter chat. I believe it was CaptHindsight. 

Hi,

for those who like to give it a try ...
I published the sources

Nice! Where?

Oups - sorry! I thought, I already posted the repo location.

Just updated first post

Hi,

the next hurdle has been taken. I wanted to mill the open pockets.


The least effort for the user seemed to me to cut the model horizontally and derive the contour from that.
However, the parallel contours were not suitable as a tool path.


So - roll up my sleeves and spit into my hands ...

Although opencascade provides the tools to edit a curve, it was not possible for me to get the desired result. So I had to cut the curves myself. In doing so, I had to realize that opencascade creates completely chaotic curves. Different directions and completely different start and end point ...
(green is the first segment, red the last - contour with two green segment means first and last segment of the curve)


So I had to create my own data structure to get reliable results. This was a challenge for my gray cells, but I think I finally skinned the cat. (The steps in the rapid [cyan] are only for debugging)
