And if you are not willing to shell out the cost for VCarve, @fenrus developped two tools to build G-code from STL:

  • this tool generates G-code directly from a STL file. Magic!
  • this tool generates a grayscale heighmap from a STL file. That grayscale map can then be imported in Carbide Create Pro, to create 3D toolpaths and generate the Gcode
