Software to convert dxf to gcode10/30/2023 I have written an interpreter for G-code, which will drive a RepRap/RepStrap. The RepRap host software is designed for additive manufacture, and does not read this type of file. DXF files, which are then converted via various methods to G-code. The problem is of course that CAD programs tend to export. In fact, the McWire Bot seems to be designed exactly for this purpose. I am really impressed with the RepRap project, and I am sure that I am not the first person to see the potential of the electronics and control protocol to be used for subtractive modelling (ie milling, drilling) as well. It has been noted here before I believe that most commercial CNC milling machines read G-code, which is a standardised language for controlling machine tools. ![]() This is my first post on the RepRap forums hopefully it's not my last.
