List of Addons connected to CAD
All short cuts from within blender (focus on blender).
- http://blendercam.blogspot.cz/ <-- it's working, simply download a preconfigured version or create your own (it's no usual addon as it has some severe python dependencies that are not met in the usual blender bundled python).
- https://github.com/Rylangrayston/Dicer <-- 3D model -> slice in background -> continue modeling -> meanwhile it's creating GCode [-> this later is converte to a .wav-Audiofile that controls mirrors.]
- ALT + CTRL + U --> 3D print tools --> check enable,
- ALT + CTRL + U --> Mesh lint --> check enable,
- Netherlands' Macouno's GCode export addon is in beta phase!!
