[GMG-Devel] Gerber / gcode files

[Get Board]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this list and i'm not a developer.

I have installed an instance of MediaGoblin just to see if it is for me or not. And wile i was looking into the option to run .stl files i thought it would be great to also have a gerber viewer. So that people can upload full PCB designs and instantly view them.

And as an extention to that idea, also gcode files

This way MediaGoblin could be used to host a wide range of projects.

.stl for 3d printing

gerber for PCB etching / milling

.gcode for cnc milling

.svg for inkscape 2d drawings

Mabe this project can be of help

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gerbv/?source=recommended

its a gerberviewer with a GPL license

And it also might be an idea to include .fzz files made by the fritzing.org software These are layered SVG files.

But that's about all i know.

I hope this makes MediaGoblin a better tool for "makermedia" since there is not much out there that can do this.

And what about sticker cutting, embroidery, lasercutting, knitting, vacuumcleaning / lawnmower robots that can mow GNU logo patterns in the lawn.

Ok. i got carried away....
