quick start

CoilCAM-js #

There are three separate ways to use CoilCAM-js functions. Users can install the javascript library using npm, experiment with functions through the web editor, or experiment with functions using the cc-toolchains branch of Dynamic Toolchains.

Javascript Library #

Source code

CoilCAM-js is a javascript library that implements core functionalities present in the original CoilCAM library. To use CoilCAM-js functions in your own work, run npm install coilcam, or access the library through npm.

Web Editor #

The CoilCAM-js web editor lets users work with CoilCAM-js functions in their browser. In the web editor, users can design, visualize and save toolpaths as .gcode files.

Toolchains #

CoilCAM-js functions are also accessible through Dynamic Toolchains, a visual development environment developed by Hannah Twigg-Smith. The CoilCAM-js branch of Dynamic Toolchains (cc-toolchains) is accessible through GitHub here.

Integration with Dynamic Toolchains + editable examples coming soon!

CoilCAM #

Source code

The original version of CoilCAM is accessible as a scripting plug-in for Grasshopper, a visual programming language for Rhino. Additional information about this version is available here.
