GCode Export

MeowCAD has the ability to export to GCode as well. The feature is still experimental and the GCode itself might be a little 'quirky' but the basics are there.

The main program that does the conversion is the gbl2ngc which takes in a Gerber file and produces a GCode file. The heavy lifting is done by the excellent clipperlib library (by Angus Johnson). MeowCAD uses this during it's export process via the downloadProject.py file. downloadProject.py calles gbl2ngc externally and collects the result into a final ZIP file to give back to the user.

I have a GCode viewer running on one of my other servers. Below is a screenshot of the front copper layer (there are others):
