It can drive milling machines, lathes, 3D printers, laser 
cutters, plasma cutters, robot arms, hexapods, and more.

LinuxCNC was initiated 25 years ago and evolved into a very 
international project with contributions from all over the globe.
  
With release 2.9 of LinuxCNC we also transitioned the 
documentation to the use of the public crowd translation 
services [Weblate] and invite all our users to contribute.
  
The translations we expect to help attract practitioners 
to the project and also helps educating enthusiasts of 
all age groups on automated machining.
