Corresponding CAM functionality will also be a long time in coming.īut, you can already move all 5 axes of the model manually and simple G-code is already processed by the interpreter. Of course, the functionality is still very limited.

Lately I’ve been approached on 5-axis machines.Īlthough I know that there are still a few construction sites open in my 2D program, I was tempted to take my first steps in the direction of 5 axes.įor this purpose, I have added a rotary and a swivel axis to the 3D model of my machine on a trial basis. If you are interested in the history of GG, have a look to the ShapeOko forum: Īlso you can see on youtube: some of my projects. GrblGru is free and can be downloaded from my dropbox For example there are some DXF templates for making spur gears or boxes, which can be interesting for you. But maybe also GG can give you some suggestion or a new idea for your work with your CNC machine. I’m very impressed from all actions, good ideas, examples, that inventables provides every day. So, of course GG is not so professional like Easel. Finding software solutions for CNC questions is my hobby, and I can spend time for it only after my normal work. You can also use it to direct control an Arduino with GRBL system as well as a TinyG with a 4th axis. The name of the program is GrblGru, or short GG.

This allows you to check all movements before you start your machine. I’ve developed a little CAM program with 3 dimensional virtual machine simulation of the whole machine with all axes.
