![]() G-Code is also known as the G programming language. The most widespread language for programming CAM machines is G-Code. Computer Aided Manufacturing ( CAM), which has been widespread in the manufacturing industry, is now also taking place at home. All these machines have one thing in common – they are computer-controlled. You can purchase such machines relatively cheaply as a kit or already assembled. You don’t have to design or build these machines yourself. ![]() There are also CNC milling machines, plotters, laser engravers, cutters and and even machines that you can build yourself. This trend hasn’t stopped with 3D printers. Mechanical engineering as a hobby is finding more and more adopters. The publication of the source code for RepRap 3D printers for self-construction and the availability of electronic components, such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi are probably some of the causes for this boom. ![]() The construction of machines for the hobby sector is booming. G-Code, in turn, is useful for programming machines such as plotters and laser engravers. This first article of the series will show how Inkscape’s G-Code Tools extension can be used to produce G-Code. This series will show you some things you can do besides graphics with Inkscape. Inkscape can also do a lot more than just graphics. With vector graphics (in our case SVG) a lot more can be done. Inkscape, the most used and loved tool of Fedora’s Design Team, is not just a program for doing nice vector graphics.
