Libbgcode is a library used to generate binary G-code for 3D printers. Binary G-code is a new G-code file format featuring the following improvements over the legacy G-code:

1) Block structure with distinct blocks for metadata vs. G-code 2) Faster navigation 3) Coding & compression for smaller file size 4) Checksum for data validity 5) Extensivity through new (custom) blocks. For example, a file signature block may be welcome by corporate customers.

This package contains the bgcode command line utility used to convert textual gcode files into binary gcode.
