“Digi-code” - A micro computer program to digitize two dimensional figures and convert the data to CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Program

Engraving or machining free-form non mathematically defined shapes can be a complex task. “Digi-code” is a program to read and interpret coordinate location data describing parts or shape outlines. The coordinate data is converted directly to NC (Numerical Control) code to control a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine tool. This paper describes a technique to digitize contoured shapes and process the data directly to machine control code.
