A new web-based CAD/CAM tool called Kurvengefahr has been developed for pen plotters, allowing users to import and create artwork, prepare for plotting, and integrate with hardware. The tool supports AxiDraw and GRBL plotters and includes features like a Logo interpreter and handwriting synthesis.
Kurvengefahr is a new browser application designed for creating and managing line art for pen plotters. This tool allows users to import existing artwork or create new designs from scratch, significantly easing the process for those working with pen plotters.
The application integrates various functionalities, including a Logo interpreter for turtle art and Graves RNN for handwriting synthesis. It also supports pen plotters based on the EBB (AxiDraw) and GRBL firmware, enhancing its utility for users in the maker community.
The developer, who created a pen plotter attachment for the Prusa MK4, is seeking feedback from users of AxiDraw and GRBL plotters. The tool was primarily tested using a hardware mock on STM32, so user input is crucial for ensuring its functionality with actual devices.
Kurvengefahr's source code and documentation are available on GitHub, encouraging collaboration and contributions from the community. This open-source approach aims to refine the tool based on real-world usage and feedback.
