JEDI – GCode Tools for Rhino 3D & Grasshopper
JEDI GCode Tools is a plugin developed for Rhinoceros 3D / Grasshopper, specifically designed for generating GCode for laser machines.
Its goal is simple: to provide artists, designers, and engineers with a direct bridge between parametric geometry and digital fabrication.
Key Features
- Convert 2D or planar Rhino geometry into structured GCode.
- Native support for linear (G1) and arc (G2/G3) motions.
- Full control over machine parameters:
- feedrate,
- laser power (S),
- activation and stop commands (M3 / M4 / M5).
- Advanced customization through the GCodeCommandBuilder.
- Machine profile management ensuring compatibility with GRBL and other open systems.
- Export optimized for 2D cutting and engraving workflows.
Who is it for?
This plugin is ideal for:
- Artists who want to integrate engraved motifs and textures into their work.
- Designers creating custom façades, panels, or signage.
- Engineers and makers working with custom laser machines who need full control over their process.
A complete parametric workflow
With JEDI, design, simulation, and export are all integrated within a single Grasshopper workflow. This makes it possible to move quickly from concept to machine while keeping a parametric and reproducible logic.
Beta version
JEDI – GCode Tools is currently available in beta. Your feedback is essential to improve its robustness, expand its feature set, and adapt it to real-world needs.
