Thanks for your reply.Oh man, I thought that with the move to Python 3, turning operations would finally work.
LinuxCNC is an incredibly powerful tool, and on top of that, it's freely accessible to everyone.The situation with cloud-based CAD/CAM systems is both a blessing and a curse.
On one hand, I’m glad they exist and that we have relatively affordable access to them.
On the other hand, we are completely dependent on big corporations like Autodesk, Onshape and others,
and at the mercy of their decisions. That's not good if we have to rely 100% on them.
Plus, there are all the usual pros and cons of the cloud.With NativeCAM, the developers gave us a tool that’s quite close to industrial-level technology,
like Siemens ShopTurn/Mill or Heidenhain Klartext.
Only a few small features are missing.Is there some kind of working group or active community taking care of NativeCAM?
Am I in the right thread here?From what I could find, the original authors are no longer active.
(If you’re reading this: I hope you’re ok, and thank you for your amazing work!)I'm not a programmer, but I know open source lives from community involvement.
Everyone pitching in is what keeps it alive.
I'd love to contribute in some way.My first experiments with AI and LinuxCNC have already helped me a lot.
In the past few days, I've learned more, and could help myself faster with problems without annoying friendly people with my inability.
Five years ago, I would have been completely lost without help. Today its still the same but i can do 90% of the job und and just need help for the last 10% lol :DMaybe this (AI) could be a way to develop and revive the project,
even with noobs like me involved.
