Thought this community would be interested in this. @Daid_Braam is the brains behind the awesome Cura slicing software for 3d printing.

So, what have I been up to? Well, I took a small break from 3D printing to start a project that I wanted to do for a while now.
I’ve started some software for easy 2.5D CNC milling. It’s still an early version, but I might have something useful already.
So here is the very first release of some sort of NinjaKittens! http://daid.eu/~daid/NinjaKittens_14.01.exe (Windows only right now, due to lazyness)
It can load DXF and SVG files, and generates cutting paths from that. Which are exported in GCode. It supports cutting and engraving paths, as well as holding tabs in your cut paths.
Note: I currently do not have a mill to test on, so all the code is only checked visually! It’s still early code, so there might be bugs.
I would love to hear about any success or failures!
@Jeremie_Francois Guess you where waiting a bit for this one?
