# Makelangelo Software
[](https://crowdin.com/project/makelangelo-software)
Makelangelo Software is a Java program that prepares art for CNC plotters. It was originally designed for the
[Makelangelo Art Robot](http://www.makelangelo.com/). It runs in Windows, OSX, and several flavors of linux.
It pairs really well with [Marlin 3D printer firmware](https://github.com/MarginallyClever/Marlin-polargraph/tree/2.1.x-polargraph), the code in the brain of the robot that receives instructions and moves the motors.
