CAMel, Grasshopper output for 5-axis CAM

by Edmund Harriss

I am proud to announce the first release of Grasshopper components to output GCode for 5-axis machines. At the moment it is simply a collection of clusters and scripted components, but it will become a proper plugin.

 

This is joint work with Santiago Perez. There is a lot more information to be found here:

and here is a machine running the code generated by CAMel:

      Hi there,

      I am currently using your CAMel script to generate the 5 axis code, but it is set up to generate A and C axis movements at the moment.

      Could you create a small script to generate A and B axis movements instead of the current A and C please? or advise me on how to adjust the script as I have attempted to do so but I am not getting the required data from it.

        Great work on CAMel! I'm wondering if you would mind posting or sending me the updated version?
