My quest to be free of black box software for manufacturing and design. Sunday, September 30, 2012. Our book on FreeCAD has been published. And I have been working on a small book on FreeCAD for Packt Publishing, since February of this year. It has now been published and can be purchased through Packt. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

OpenSourceDesignTools: June 2012
http://opensourcedesigntools.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
My quest to be free of black box software for manufacturing and design. Friday, June 8, 2012. Experimental Online APT360 Processor. Edit-I have disabled the server for this, since I needed it for something else. This doesn't work anymore. I have been playing with websockets and a Linode server. A friend of mine, Brent Muller, set up APT360 on the linode server and I created a python-tornado websocket interface to it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sliptonic and I wrote this.

OpenSourceDesignTools: December 2011
http://opensourcedesigntools.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
My quest to be free of black box software for manufacturing and design. Saturday, December 31, 2011. I'm starting to get the hang of using QtDesigner for making pyQt Dialogs with FreeCAD/HeeksCNC. I love it! A little progress report. The resulting code looks like this:. Curve = area.Curve(). Curveappend(area.Point(62.244881,-33.935955). Curveappend(area.Vertex(-1 , area.Point( 57.129109, -39.051727), area.Point(57.129109, -33.935955) ). Curveappend(area.Point( -56.043546, -39.051727). Tool defn( id=4, na...

OpenSourceDesignTools: Python toolpath generation -HeeksCNC method
http://opensourcedesigntools.blogspot.com/2012/10/python-toolpath-generation-heekscnc.html
My quest to be free of black box software for manufacturing and design. Friday, October 5, 2012. Python toolpath generation -HeeksCNC method. This script is processed like this:. Postpy reaches out to other scripts/modules in the heekscnc world for processing and formatting. These other scripts need to be in the python path, as you would expect. Libarea can be had from many places now, although I prefer to use the 'New BSD' licensed version that can be found here. October 7, 2012 at 6:09 PM. Looking forw...

OpenSourceDesignTools: Heekscnc method of getting data to the python script
http://opensourcedesigntools.blogspot.com/2012/10/heekscnc-method-of-getting-data-to.html
My quest to be free of black box software for manufacturing and design. Sunday, October 14, 2012. Heekscnc method of getting data to the python script. In my last post, I talked about how Heekscnc uses a master python script to coordinate the generation of g-code. In this post, I will try to convey how data is translated from the gui to this python script. 1 Look at the layout of HeeksCAD with the HeeksCNC installed :. I next select a sketch and one of the tools from the tree and then create an operation:.
