How does XyzPilot export CNC programs?

XyzPilot exports CNC data as G-code. The exporter handles closed contour cyclic rotation, cutter compensation (G41/G42/G40), and correct point marker handling.

Full Answer

XyzPilot exports CNC programs as G-code. Key features of the CAM export:

  • Closed contour cyclic rotation — export rotates the working path so the first cutting entity begins at the lead-in endpoint
  • Cutter compensation — correct G41/G42 engagement and G40 cancellation per pass
  • Point markers — remain metadata and emit no G0/G1/G2/G3 movement
  • Compensation entry and exit — one movement-based engage and one full-XY cancellation movement per pass
Always verify generated CNC programs before use on production equipment. The operator remains responsible for the final accuracy and safety of all machined components.
