voxel sculpting program

Based on voxlap by Ken Silverman, this does a solid simulation of a milling machine. Version 0.2 is unfinished; It is only setup for simulating the NC code from a Bridgeport Series I machine. I hope to adapt it to be able to be configured for any machine, using the scripts from HeeksCNC.

It is GPL license, because voxlap is GPL license.

Voxlap uses DirectDraw, so I guess this is only for Windows.

This project can be built with Visual Studio 2008 Express ( which is free )

voxelcut's Issues

XML input

remove Python from Voxelcut.

add a file parameter on the command line, so that VoxelCut is started like this
VoxelCut.exe -f "c:\some folder\a file.xml"

Where the XML file has this format:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

Create from window handle

Make a startup function that takes a window handle, so that VoxelCut can be
added to an existing CAM software ( so long as it has a GPL compatible
license, like LGPL or BSD ).
