# Title
######################################
CNC routers may be harder to use than 3D printers, can a cut preview help?
Printers have a print preview, should CNC routers have a cut preview?
3d printers
######################################
# Introduction
######################################
# What if you could click on this image and have the CNC machine move to
location you clicked on?
# What if you could load your GCODE on this image and place it anywhere on
your machine bed?
# What if you could rotate it if needed and move cut paths arround to fit on
the workpiece without re-exporting the GCODE?
# All this and more has been prototyped and is possible, and I'll show you how
and demo it in this video.
######################################
# Motivation
######################################
Where is my CNC router going to cut?
Am I going to run into a clamp?
Am I cutting on my workpiece?
Will I hit a soft or hard limit?
Is my workpiece straight?
Can also use this to measure objects as it knows the physical location of
each pixel in the view.
Can draw directly on top of image to do on the spot cutting
