Woodpecker for timber fabrication

Woodpecker, developed by designtoproduction, is a plugin for Grasshopper that enables users to extend their parametric models into fabrication.

It offers several Grasshopper components that can turn input geometry into fabrication data in BTL (Building Transfer Language) format, a free standard for timber fabrication that offers a wide range of timber processing, including 5-axis contours. It is notably not machine-specific, can be read by LignoCam and other CAM software, and is usually created by timber-specific CAD software such as cadwork or SEMA.

    Thanks to Hanno and Fabian. That's an excellent definition for cnc data export out of Rhino. Looking forward seeing woodpecker working with solid surface.
