Overview
JavaFX / Spring Boot application used to create GCODE files for 4 axis hotwire cutting machine. The application can import Selig and Lednicer format airfoil .dat files from the University of Illinois UIUC Airfoil Database and other sites. Airfoil, chord length, twist, and offset are editable for both the tip and root. There is a 2D view of the airfoils, as well as a 3D view of the wing half or whole wing. G-code can be generated for both the right and left (mirrored) wings. Created to generate GCODE for low cost (?) hotwire foam cutter. See wiki.
