G-Code

A stereolithography file, or STL, is a common method of expressing a 3D concept model. Most manufacturing systems, however, require G-code. To this end, you might be wondering how to convert STL to G-code. Find out in the following!

Converting an STL to G-code can be done easily, but converting from G-code to STL can be quite a challenge. Learn how to do it.

G-code generators create the detailed machine instructions necessary to create a part, either in 3D printing or CNC machining. Learn more about what a G-code generator is and how it works.

Love your Inkscape and wonder if you can use it for generating G-code? You can if you read this article. We'll tell you all about switching from Inkscape to G-code.

3D printers and CNC mills both use G-code, but have you ever wondered what the difference is? Dip your toes into the world of G-code and explore the differences between 3D printing and CNC milling.

With just a custom bit of G-code, maker and engineer, Replayreb, can 3D print lightsaber pen tops for his small business remotely. The G-code hack ensures that, once a print is complete, it is pushed off the print bed and the next model starts printing.
