StepCAM 2

The StepCAM 2 application is a simple PCB format converter software. It converts the Excellon and HP-GL formats to G-code.

The application was written under the influence of StepCAM 1.79 by Sergey Efremov. The name StepCAM is saved with his permission.

Distinctive features of the new version

  • Modern interface with separation of milling and drilling parameters.
  • Automatic detection of number format in Excellon files regardless of Sprint-Layout export settings.
  • Number conversion using integer arithmetic only (no accuracy loss).
  • It is possible to automatically add arbitrary prologue and epilogue to the program code.
  • High speed of conversion.
  • Log of errors and warnings related to input data analysis.
  • The program is written in C++ using the Qt framework and can be built for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms.
  • The source code of the program is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License 3.

Lost features of the new version

  • Conversion of Sprint-Layout export files only.
  • Lack of built-in visualizer.
  • (Temporary) Absence of the conversion process indicator.
  • (Temporary) Lack of Russian localization.

stepcam's Issues

Batch file processing

Здравствуйте, пользуюсь Вашей программой и она очень нравится.

Sprint-Layout экспортирует слои в соответствующие файлы фрезеровки с именами name_Pen1.plt, name_Pen2.plt, name_Pen3.plt и т.д. И чтобы создать пакет управляющих программ для ЧПУ станка, приходится последовательно открывать каждый файл, Далее приходится менять параметры фрезеровки (в основном меняю только глубину фрезеровки) в соответствии с тем, какой файл открыт. Генерировать G-Code и сохранять его. Обычно сохраняю по шаблону name_Pen1.ngc.

Очень упростило бы процесс создания управляющих программ, если в следующих версиях получится реализовать пакетное открытие файлов, их обработку и сохранение в G-Code по примерно следующему алгоритму:
-выбрать и открыть файлы фрезеровки;
-определить слой по названию файла (name_Pen3.plt - слой Фольга2, name_Pen4.plt - слой отверстий, name_Pen5.plt - слой Контур...)
-сгенерировать G-Code с необходимыми параметрами фрезеровки в зависимости от слоя
-сохранить G-Code в файл для каждого слоя с именем name_Pen3.plt, name_Pen4.plt ...
