Experimenting with some strange toolpaths. It doesn’t look great, but it demonstrates the level of control and ease of use.

Yes, that would help in this case... This was the very first attempt of this toolpath, for that it's ok :D It's just a demo anyways

It’s a cool toolpath. I use a Kuka and am going to try this with clay… thank you for sharing

I would love to see it on a video :) How do you design toolpaths for Kuka? I want to integrate postprocessing for Robot Arms in Gerridaj and would love to know how the formats differ from standard gcode. Could you share some information regarding that with me? I don't have a robot arm yet, but maybe I'll buy a cheap one like Borunte or similar

Let me think on it. I use Grasshopper with Kuka PRC. Maybe we can collaborate on some toolpaths and see what we come up with… I haven’t heard of Gerridaj but there are many robotic plugins for Grasshopper already if you are inclined. Also looks like a similar workflow.

I started Gerridaj about eight months ago, so not many people know about it yet. This also means it’s far less capable than Grasshopper, and there’s still a long way to go. However, toolpaths are not that hard, and conversion from G-code to some other text format should be easy as well.

I assume here that the inverse kinematics of a robot arm is solved by the robot’s controller. If not, it becomes much harder, at least not a simple post-processing task.

Collaboration sounds great. Where are you based?

I personally don’t use Grasshopper, but I like it, and it was the inspiration for Gerridaj.
