A set of core libraries define common shapes and transforms, but users are free to extend their designs with their own definitions.\n\n![CAD](http://i.imgur.com/L1RQUxA.png)\n\nThe CAM tools enable path planning for two, three, and five-axis machines.  At the moment, paths can be exported to Universal and Epilog laser cutters, the Roland Modela mini-mill, three and five-axis Shopbot machines, and plain G-code.  A modular workflow system makes adding new machines easy.\n\n![CAM](http://i.imgur.com/sb0uQq5.png)\n\nIn addition, models can be saved as `.svg` and water-tight `.stl` files.\n\nWarning\n=======\n`kokopelli` stores designs as Python scripts and executes them.  This means that you can do cool things like using `numpy` to process arrays, load and process images with `PIL`, or even scrape web data and use it to inform designs.\n\nHowever, it also means that bad actors can write malicious scripts.\n\nAs such, **do not open a .ko file from an untrusted source** without first examining it in a text editor to confirm that it is not malicious.\n\nDownload\n========\n`kokopelli` has been tested on Mac OS 10.6+ and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.  \nA Mac application is available [here](http://mattkeeter.com/projects/kokopelli/kokopelli.tar.gz).  \nTo build from source, check out the instructions on the [wiki](https://github.com/mkeeter/kokopelli/wiki/Installing).\n\nBackground\n==========\n`kokopelli` grew out of the MIT course [\"How to Make Something that Makes (Almost) Anything\"](http://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/S62.12/index.html).\nIn that course, I worked on [fast geometry solvers](http://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/S62.12/people/keeter.matt/solver/index.html) and developed a [fairly basic UI](http://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/S62.12/people/keeter.matt/gui/index.html).  My work expanded on the [fab modules](http://kokompe.cba.mit.edu/) project, which allows [fab lab](http://fab.cba.mit.edu/about/faq/) users to make physical artifacts on a variety of machines.\n\nThis work grew into my [Master's thesis](http://cba.mit.edu/docs/theses/13.05.Keeter.pdf) at the MIT [Center for Bits and Atoms](http://cba.mit.edu).  This thesis focused on volumetric CAD/CAM workflows.  Now that it is complete, I'm releasing this tool for others to use and develop.  It has already been used by folks in [How to Make (Almost) Anything](http://fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/863.12/) and [Fab Academy](http://www.fabacademy.org/), but I'm excited to offer it to a larger community.\n\nCopyright\n=========\n(c) 2012-2013 Massachusetts Institute of Technology  \n(c) 2013 Matt Keeter\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmkeeter%2Fkokopelli","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmkeeter%2Fkokopelli","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmkeeter%2Fkokopelli/lists"}
