Robots.IO question

Plug Ins
1

Hello,

I remember that a plugin for Rhino called robots.IO that looked very interesting and capable for programming and simulating manufacturing processes using robotic arms and other CAM devices. It would be exactly what I’m in need of now, but I can’t find any trace of it anywhere.

Can anyone tell me if they still exist or if they’ve rebranded? Is there an alternative plug-in or Rhino-compatible solution that you would recommend?

Thanks,
Alex

I don’t think that plugin is developed any more, but there are plenty of others which are.
Which one is best suited depends on your needs, budget, and hardware brand, but a few that come to mind are:
HAL
RhinoCAM
KukaPRC
RoboDK
This is far from an exhaustive list, and there are many other free and open source ones too.

Thank you, I’ll have a look at those!
