Cutting order optimization #215

Closed Biondilbiondo closed 7 years ago

Biondilbiondo commented 7 years ago

Added a function in simple cam to optimize the cutting order of the lines to get a much shorter gcode.

Reversing the cut Direction is OK for laser cutting but causes Problems when milling. (Not sure if simple Cam is used for milling)

Biondilbiondo commented 7 years ago

I have supposed simple cam is just for laser cutting: when I create gcodes for milling machine i want a more advanced control on what the gcode is supposed to do. Anyway I don't understend what could go wrong in inverting cutting direction (with rispect to how a line is drown in the the CAD) during milling.

cprezzi commented 7 years ago

It's a big difference in surface quality and tool wearing if you do conventional up milling or down milling (climb milling) grafik In every CAM you can select the direction.

We have a pretty decent CAM in LW4.

While I do appreciate a G0 optimisation (speak to @tbfleming though) i dont really think we need to enhance lw3's much, since LW4 is nearly done anyway
