Generating 4 axis gcode for foam cutters can be challenging since there aren't many solutions available. In this video, I show 6 solutions that you can use 4 of them are free.

I'll show an overview of each one and show how to test the gcode using a free simulator and GRBL's Check option. For two of the applications, I've run some live cuts as well.

We'll be taking a look at the following
Wing Gcode
Wing Wire
Wing Designer
Jedicut
DevWing Foam 2
DevFus Foam 2
DevSim Foam free gcode simulator from DevCad

If you want the best CNC Foam cutting software then it's DevWing Foam 2 and DevFus Foam 2 in my opinion. Although not free they are worth investing in if you are serious about making foam wings and fuselages.

I was not sponsored for making this video the opinions expressed here are based on several years of cutting foam wings and fuselages. Please check my other videos and the website to see my projects. https://rckeith.co.uk

The video is very long please use the Chapter options below.
I did try to keep it short but this would just leave too much out.

Hopefully, at the end of the video, you have a better understanding of the options available to use with a 4 axis CNC Foam Cutter.

Happy Foam Cutting
