pcb2gcode/pcb2gcode ★ 503 120 APPLICATION

pcb2gcode is a mature, actively maintained C++17 command-line tool that converts PCB design files (Gerber RS-274X, Excellon drill) into CNC G-code for isolation routing, drilling, and outline cutting. It supports multiple CNC controllers (LinuxCNC, Mach3, Mach4) and advanced features like auto-levelling via probe-based Z correction, tiling, mirroring, Voronoi-based isolation, and path optimization (TSP, Eulerian paths, backtracking). The architecture is modular: input parsing (libgerbv), geometric processing (Boost.Geometry, Boost.Polygon), path computation (segment trees, A* search, Eulerian decomposition), and G-code generation. The project includes an optional MCP server for AI integration and a comprehensive test suite with golden file comparisons. Dependencies are well-managed via CMake and pinned in CI.
