README
Overview
This repository is part of the ROS-Industrial program.
ROS Additive Manufacturing (RAM) provides a set of tools (mostly algorithms and GUIs) to help end users create complex trajectories for additive manufacturing. The project is especially focused on printing metallic parts with industrial robots. This project contains multiple tools: path planning algorithm able to generate complex trajectories, visualisation tools, editing tools, etc.
:information_source: As of today this project aims at generating a robot program specific to the robot brand you use, and then upload/run the program on the robot. It's not designed to directly control your robot, though it would be possible quite easily.

Launching
Source the catkin workspace and run:
roslaunch ram_qt_guis gui.launch
Launching installed workspace
If you have installed the workspace then you can launch the application with your desktop application menu:
Running the tests locally
The tests can be run locally with a GUI; for each package that allows that the commands are detailed in a README file; for example in ram_path_planning/README.md
Please check inside the repository if there is a README
file in the package you are interested in testing!
