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.
 

Is it open source?

I recommend MIT (released to all to do with as they wish) or GPL v2 (If people make edits, improvements, forks, they have to release their edits so you, and others, can benefit from them).


If I ommited any letters, I'm sorr; my keyboard has many almost-broken keys.

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.

The MIT license is very popular on the web, most JavaScript libraries and stuff are MIT licensed, if they have any license notice at all.
If you go to a library CDN like cdnjs.com, you will find that the vast majority of Libraries are MIT licensed.

The guys who wrote these are kinda nutty and extreme, but they have some good points and ideas:

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!
