Abstract
A method for virtually calibrating a CNC machine including the steps of selecting a true axis of movement of a toolhead of the CNC machine, instructing the toolhead to travel along the true axis of movement, selecting multiple points along an actual axis traveled by the toolhead, comparing the distance of the multiple points along the actual axis from the true axis to determine offset amounts from the true axis corresponding to a lack of straightness, and modifying g-code instructions to compensate for the offset amounts before uploading the g-codes to a CNC controller.
