MetalHeadCAM: dxf2gcode and Inkscape gcode plugin replacement

Hi all,

I decided to build my ideal plasma cutter CAM program over the summer after being dissatisfied with our options for generating QtPlasmaC gcode. 
I've got it to the point where it is useful, so I'm opening it up for previews. 

Please have a look at metalheadcam.alan-gibson.workers.dev . Give it a try and post bug reports and feature requests in this thread.

The basic workflow is:
- Click the hamburger menu and then Tools so you can add your tool parameters
- Import a DXF file on the Import stage
- Skip the Edit stage for now as it doesn't do much yet
- Click the Apply All button on the Prepare stage
- Add operations to parts and shape chains on the Program stage
- Simulate the program on the Simulate stage or just skip it
- Download gcode on the Export stage

Thanks and I look forward to your feedback.
 

I'm going to open it up under the Elastic License 2.0. The repo isn't public yet because the internal API is a mess and running it locally is not trivial. So for those that are wary of web services I'll also include a script to make running it locally easy.

Hi All,
I've just released an update that provides improved lead in/out support. Any feedback is of course appreciated.
 

Looks pretty cool Alan!

Thanks Rod. I just deployed a much simplified version with quite a few fixes. Plus now it has Imperial support. I'd love to hear your feedback on it.

This is great. I have just started looking into this and so far it is better than all that I have found, just by looking at the gcode output even, others with heavy configuration to get the base plasma cuts are lacking all the way around. I will keep testing and hopefully make some cuts. I do not have a z-axis on my newly built machine so easily remove the z motions.
