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.

My quest to be free of black box software for manufacturing and design. Sunday, January 19, 2014. Helping a Boy Scout. The scout working on this project knows that I like to design and build things, so he contacted me about the project. He started by getting the requirements from the charity director and came back with dimensions. We discussed some general design ideas and what materials he wanted to use. The materials would be construction grade timbers and plywood (laminated sheet). 5 two cross braces ...

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...
