G-code File Format Tips

G-code stands for "Geometry" code, a widely-used programming language to control equipment such as 3D printers and CNC machines.

At Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) our members often use Autodesk Fusion and/or VCarve to generate G-code to send to our 3D printers and CNC machines.
