  • Hand code is still used. Most frequently, a sub is hand coded with incremental moves and then called at a point. A lot of probing, weird moves, edge cases all still get hand coded.

    Hand editing CAM produced programs constantly occurs at the machine as well.

    3D printing gcode is pretty ugly because hobbyists “improved” the language without really understanding why it was so stripped down.

    Modern Gcode is really meant to be machine generated and human readable/editable.
