G-code Converter

About This Tool

This tool accepts simple geometry and machining parameters to produce ISO-style G-code for CNC mills and routers. It is designed for machinists, CAM technicians, educators, and hobbyists who need reliable, repeatable code without a full CAM workflow. Conceptually, inputs define toolpaths as sequences of moves; the tool translates these into machine-ready instructions with appropriate safety moves. Core features include unit handling, multiple dialect outputs, and basic error checking. The tool focuses on generating post-processor ready code rather than simulating material removal. Use cases include simple pocketing, contouring, and drilling patterns where quick iteration is valuable. Core value lies in deterministic output, automation-friendly formatting, and the ability to script or batch generate programs for repeat jobs. Differentiators include direct G-code generation from straightforward inputs, support for common dialects, and lightweight validation that minimizes setup time. Expected users are maintenance-ready shops, training labs, and individuals learning CNC programming. Core features align with typical shop workflows: header/comments, tool and offset declarations, feed/speed control, rapid and ramp moves, and safe retracts. Typical outputs are ready for transfer to machines or post-processing pipelines. The tool is especially useful for educational demonstrations and repeatable test cuts where full CAM is unnecessary.
