A friend asked if I knew of a way to automate a component of his new business to reduce the current workload - welding of nickel strips to 18650 batteries. Typically 3D printing generates GCode that moves the print head in 3 degrees of freedom (all linear), perfect for moving the KWeld to the required location. All that was need was a progam that could be used to dial in the configurable settings and generate the tool paths.
