Darin white decided to demonstrate that a part could be designed and cut using free software in less than 20 minutes. He used inkscape to design a part, exported it to .dxf and then used dxf2gcode to generate the gcode for the mill. A short time later his part was cut into a piece of foam! Kwartzlab rapid prototyping is becoming a reality.
