Thanks you for these very nice answers :grinning: I'm happy to see that this is a topic of intereset, as many industrial robots are used with linear axis and turn tables this is a key topic to drive ROS-I into our factories. This really doesn't look like a feature that would be done in two days work! I never used Descartes but I wanted to give it a look since a long time, that's what I'll be doing right now. I think it would be nice that this discussion continues with the advances of everyone in the field, I'll try what you have suggested and give it a look. At the moment we are not starting a project or anything concrete in that direction, it is something we are studying, the main idea is to gauge the amount of work to get a simple example running, and get 3D printing running with this stuff. --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/path-planning-with-external-axis/4451/7) or reply to this email to respond.
