Open Source CAD Software

DXF2GCODE is a tool for converting 2D (dxf, pdf, ps) drawings to CNC machine compatible GCode. Windows, Linux, and Mac support by using python scripting language.

Eng: The library of Conventional Graphic Symbols (CGS) for Kicad is based on russian international standards also known as GOSTs. Рус: Библиотека компонентов для Kicad, созданных в полном соответствии с требованиями УГО по международным нормативам ГОСТ.

A robotic DIY styrofoam cutter consisting of one rotational and two translational axes. It cuts a variety of shapes out of styrofoam-like materials using a hot wire. This project documents the necessary hardware and software parts. Don't miss the follow-up project at http://raumschaum.org Its goal is to further develop hardware and software into an user friendly application.

MeKin2D is a collection of Free Pascal subroutines for kinematic simulation of planar linkage mechanisms using a modular approach.

Software script assembly to be executed on cnc machines and robots to build, maintain and replicate open source fablab. Here software meets hardware.

Allows one to program fablab (factory and/or laboratory) in the same way as we program computer. Imagine commands like: "dim screw12 as new screw" or "mold(form_piston_081212, brass)" or ''gear(3)=lasercut(steel2,"biggear.gc")". This approach will let us program highly automated and self-deploying or even self-replicating factories. I am more engineer than programmer and just beginner in python. So it looks like community help will be needed :)
