gCAD3D has its own

• import-/ export-programs,
• integrated 3D-OpenGL-viewer,
• programinterpreter for geometry and NC-commands in 3D,
• integrated NC-processor.
• programminginterface for userprograms (plugins)

The creation of geometrical elements / NC-programs can be done by -

• interactive generated geometric objects or
• manually generated commands or by the
• importmodule (Step - Iges - dxf) or by the
• Mockup-importmodule (Vrml-1 - obj ..) or by loading a
• datafile created by program or by
• special importprocessors (user-programs)

The programinterpreter provides functions for -

• creation and spatial visualisation of data
• NC-working, direct and programcontrolled
• preparation of data (building contours ..)
• analysis of data
• programmingfunctions

Functions for making documentations:

• Display of 2D-draftings, 3D-models and images (bitmaps) in the same 3D-modelspace
• drafts and models can be generated / modified dynamic
• all graph. objects can be connected with interactions

Interactions can do:

• call models (like HTML - HREF)
• call programs (start plugins)
• change the viewport
• change modelparameter (dimensions ..)

The NC-processor provides functions for -

• implementation of all machining-strategies
• combined cycles (eg pocketing - contouring)
• automated generation of parametrized contours (eg keyholes ..)
• macroprograms are userdefinable (ascii-text)

Outputting data is done by the -

• DXF exportmodule or
• IGES exportmodule
• standard - ISO - postprocessor
• special exportprocessors (user-programs)
• native format APT3D

The programminginterface offers -

• creation and analysis of geometric objects
• interactive dialogfunctions (selections ..)
• automatic compile, link and reload at runtime (DLL's in C)
