The software used is a Processing sketch.
This sketch draws an intuitive graphic interface to load the necessary values for the process (size of the cylinder, separation of the holes, etc.), and performs all the calculations necessary to locate the perforations correctly. The interface shows a cylinder that can be rotated, zoomed in and out and where we can see the distribution of the perforations according to the entered parameters.
When we have verified that all the information entered is correct, we can start the process by sending the necessary orders (in Gcode format), to the machine to perform the drilling.
