It places heavy emphasis on manually adding supports, and belt printers like the Ender CR30 are already supported. The slicer for 3D printing is functional, but probably won’t be replacing our regular slicer soon.
If you want to build an assembly from layers of laser-cut parts, Kiri:Moto can automatically slice the 3D model and nest the 2D parts on the platform. See the video after the break for a complete breakdown of the features, complete with timestamp for the different sections.Īll the required features for laser cutting are present, and it supports a drag knife. The interface is intuitive, even if you don’t have any previous CAM experience. The features for CNC should be perfect for 90% of your desktop CNC needs.
In the machine setup section you can choose CNC mill, laser cutter, FDM printer, or SLA printer. You can click the link above and start generating tool paths within seconds, which is great for trying it out. There are performance trade-offs with this approach, but it does have the inherent advantages of being cross-platform and not requiring any installation. Everything happens client-side, in your browser. To get it out of the way, Kiri:Moto does not run in the cloud. Recently we found out about an open-source browser-based CAM pack created by named Kiri:Moto, which can generate G-code for all your desktop CNC platforms.
Of course, these machines would never have seen this level of adoption if you had to manually write G-code, so CAM software had a big part to play. 3D printers, desktop CNC mills/routers, and laser cutters have made a massive difference in the level of projects the average hacker can tackle.
