Most of our solutions include a powerful G-code generation feature. If you need a library for developers, fill in a quick form, and we will send you a library tailored to your project’s requirements. And if you're looking for a ready-made software, we recommend ABViewer(or CST CAD Navigator for macOS/Linux).
ABViewer is a comprehensive CAD software that helps to generate precise G-code for a wide range of CNC machines. With its features and user-friendly interface, it is easy to get started, no matter whether you're an experienced user or a beginner. Here are some of the highlights of ABViewer:
Generates G-code from different 2D CAD files: DWG, DXF, SVG, CGM, and DWF.1
Offers professional editing tools to modify your design before conversion or to create a new one from scratch.2
Generates universal G-code compatible with most milling, cutting, laser, and lathe machines. The generated code is also compatible with the Grbl controller.3
Provides numerous settings to customize and optimize G-code to meet your specific requirements.4
Enables to edit the generated G-code and change the order of the processed contours.5
Requires no special skills or high-powered computer to get started. For your convenience, we prepared a help guide and video tutorial. And our support team is always ready to answer your questions via email or live chat.6
With ABViewer, you can generate G-code for a milling, cutting, laser or lathe machine and save it as a NC, NGC, GCODE, NCP file.
In the Properties window, you can specify additional parameters for contour generation, including radius compensation, lead in and lead out.
In the G-code settings window, you can select the machine type, its feed rate, specify tools and other parameters to customize G-code to your particular manufacturing process.
In the Processing Queue window, you can set the sequence in which the contours will be processed.
2.Open your file. If you need to edit it, use the tools on the Editor tab.
3.On the Output tab select the CAD to G-code command.
4.In the opened G-code window, configure all the necessary settings. You can find more information about it here.
5.Click the Convert button. Please note that by default ABViewer generates G-code for a milling machine. You can change the machine type in the G-code settings window on the General tab.
6.To save the generated G-code click the Save G-code button. The file will be saved with an NC extension.
