   @vk6flab I use OpenEMS mostly as my EM Solver, but I'm also using some free optical design tools and running stuff in MATLAB and, hilariously, in Excel. For CAD and manufacturing, I'm using Autodesk Fusion to generate the G-code and machine control codes

     @g4dbn what software are you using to create models and what are you using for generating tool paths and gcode?

     Hi folks, I've just posted an edited version of one of the presentations I gave remotely at Microwave Update 2024 Vancouver. It's about some of the techniques I've been experimenting with for manufacturing antennas and feeds now I have a tame 5000-pound killer robot in my workshop, otherwise known as a SYIL X5 CNC mill.
