    Okay, I found the software...see http://www.reprap.org It's an OPEN SOURCE project for a self replicating machine.

    The software is beyond the scope of most of the people on here, it's very interesting and appears to allow you to create stuff on the fly, it uses a GUI interface....I could be a bit mistaken as I only read the highlights.....it's interesting enough that I bookmarked it and plan to take another look at it....it's absolutely amazing how much work people do for free and the love of an idea.....

    Yes, it is very interesting stuff. i dont think id ever make one, but it looks very cool.

    i found the code for the pics. its on their sourceforge page:

    https://sourceforge.net/project/show...kage_id=188575

    now we just need to know if the code would work with a cnc machine. the reprap machine doesnt seem all to different than a cnc machine. the cnc machine cuts, the reprap pours. the stepper motors would move in a similar fashion, im assuming.
