ViaConstructor - Free and Opensource CAM for Linux and Mac

i am afraid the software does not work with your system

Can you tell me what you use?

i am using Debian 11 with Intel Graphics and Ubuntu (22.10?) with Nvidia.

I have managed to get viaconstructor running under windows.
but it is still some work,
no installer or anything

install python3.10.10 from:  www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.10/python-3.10.10-amd64.exe

install git from:  github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/...it-2.40.0-64-bit.exe

at the moment, you need also Visual Studio Community 2022 from:  visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/  (to install pyclipper / some dll's needed for CavalierContours)
 

i upload a zip-file for windows with all needed files:
.....
you can simply extract this zip file to you disk and execute the start.bat:

www.multixmedia.org/viaconstructor.zip

this zip-file includes python3.10.10 and all needed packages

there are also debian packages now:

multixmedia.org/debian-packages/

download and install with:

apt-get install python3-viaconstructor_*.deb

no pip is needed

There are also raspberry packages now:
multixmedia.org/debian-packages/

Made this a sticky so it is easier to find.
Thank you.

Does anyone have coreldraw and could draw me a small cdr testfile ?
without copyright ?
to include it in my git

just a few circles, lines and curves

Tanks,

I have installed it in a MacBook Pro 2012 on LinuxCNC.

I like how easy it is to use the software. Still learning!

I found it to be a bit slow if I want to change some parameters like feed rates etc. It almost freezes.
Choosing starting positions works without any delay.
If I try to open the gear tool the program shuts down.
Are there some parameters I could add to the startup of the binaries in order to get it to run faster?
