LinuxCNC Documentation Wiki: Coders For LinuxCNC-Compatible CAM

This is a list of people who feel they may be able to contribute to the coding of an open-source CAM program.

This is not a list of people who merely WANT such a program.

Mark Pictor http://code.google.com/p/cam-occ/ mpictor (a+) gmail dotcom Thanks to the economy, I have time to work on this. Completely new codebase, hopefully it's easier to understand. I uploaded a tarball intended for anyone who wants to experiment with camocc or Open CASCADE. (1/29/09)

Anders Wallin http://www.anderswallin.net anders.e.e.wallin (a+) gmail dot com Drop-Cutter algorithm for finish paths on triangulated surfaces: [here]. Code in C# here: http://code.google.com/p/monocam/. Newest development is a mix of C++ and Python here: "ocl" or OpenCAMLib? http://code.google.com/p/opencamlib/ . This is a library with some visualization through VTK, needs a GUI to really be effective. HeeksCAD?/CNC already makes use of ocl for some operations.

Dan Falck http://code.google.com/p/heekscnc/ dfalck -at a place in the universe known as- verizon dat net I am really getting into python and apt360,Heekscnc,and now Freecad

John Thornton http://www.gnipsel.com bjt128 at gmail dot com I'm also getting into python and have done a bunch of simple g-code generators for LinuxCNC. As of late I have been brushing up on c++ as well...
