.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBPyCAM\fR is a toolpath generator for 3-axis CNC machining.
.PP
You can configure different cutter shapes and differen path strategies for preparing
multiple passes.
.PP
The output of \fBPyCAM\fR is G-Code suitable for EMC2 or other machine controllers.

The following options control the behaviour of \fBPyCAM\fR:
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
show the available options and exit
.TP

.TP
\fB\-\-disable-ode\fR
disable experimental ODE collision detection
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
