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

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

<br>

## DISCLAIMER
  
<br>

```
  
The authors of this software accept
absolutely no liability for any
harm or loss resulting from its use.

It is EXTREMELY unwise to rely
on software alone for safety.

Any machinery capable of harming persons must have
provisions for completely removing power from all
motors, etc., before persons enter any danger area.

All machinery must be designed to comply with local 
and national safety codes, and the authors of this 
software cannot and do not, take any responsibility 
for such compliance.
