Kiri is a browser-based slicer and toolpath generator covering several digital fabrication processes from a single interface.
It can prepare jobs for CNC milling, laser cutting, FDM and resin 3D printing, drag knives, waterjets and wire EDM. The application works with common 3D and 2D source formats and performs its computational work in the browser, making it useful when the same fabrication tools need to be available across different desktop systems.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- CAM mode generates toolpaths for CNC milling operations.
- Supports 3D printing, laser cutting, waterjet, drag-knife and wire-EDM workflows alongside CNC machining.
- Imports OBJ, STL and 3MF models directly.
- SVG, JPEG and PNG graphics can be converted for manufacturing workflows.
- Provides roughing, finishing, contouring, pocketing and other CNC machining strategies.
- Tool configuration covers cutter geometry, feeds, speeds and machining parameters.
- Interactive 3D visualisation makes it possible to inspect models, stock and generated paths.
- Supports tabs, stock definition and other controls needed when preparing routed parts.
- Generates G-code for a range of machine and controller configurations.
- Browser-based architecture avoids tying the working environment to a particular desktop toolkit.
- Can also be run as a desktop application using the wider GridSpace codebase.
- Includes modelling and mesh tools that complement its slicing and CAM capabilities.
