FreeCAD News

This week in FreeCAD development:

CAM:

• shaise updat­ed the new CAM sim­u­la­tor: there’s code refac­tor­ing, bug fix­es, and a cou­ple of minor new fea­tures (not expect­ed at this stage, but bug­fix­es out­weighed the dan­ger of new features).
• slip­ton­ic fixed a bug where the G85 com­mand would be issued with­out feed rate. He also fixed the G‑Code importing.
• Addi­tion­al minor fix­es arrived from alex­fac­ciorus­so and Syres916.

Mate­ri­als: jbaehr extend­ed ini­tial work by slip­ton­ic on machin­ing prop­er­ties in mate­ri­als and added com­plete machin­ing mod­el data for var­i­ous class­es of met­als. The infor­ma­tion comes from the Ger­man stan­dard work “Tabel­len­buch Zerspan­tech­nik” and is not sub­ject to copy­right as per Ger­man law.
