Hi everyone,
We finally got approval to purchase the full version of PRC from our school as we have developed a clay extruder for 6 axis printing. While we have been generating our own toolpaths through grasshopper, we were curious if anyone has been using Slic3r or any other standard 3D printing gcode generator to create toolpaths for the robotic arm to interpret. We were very interested once we saw "gcode import for 3d printing" in the list of commands, but weren't sure how to use it. From my understanding you need to have a custom post-processor written to generate gcode that will be compatible with this feature. Does anyone have any resources or know where to find a post processor that's already been written? I understand that MasterCAM has already done this, but we don't have access to this. While we do have access to Fusion, it was giving me errors when trying to convert gcode for 3d printing.
Thank you in advance for any help or insights you can offer.
