Selection and PRETEND there is only ONE PASS. 'Because it is FOAM I plan to DUMMY up a LONG TOOL After a couple of test with this 'strategie' I decided to avoid it. so far does'nt really like it since along with more jogs it make the tool vibrate alot from small X & Y stairsteps kinda moves. Water line finishing does generate more jogs. I've looked at many and some look to be quite versatile but the price usually follow not too far if you see what I mean! I don't own a MeshCAM lisence yet but I do really like it for my so far small 3D CAM needs. especialy #8 and # 13 of the 'High priority list'. You may want to have a look at this page () as for some futur features for built 2 of MeshCAM.
#ENROUTE 4 REFRESH TOOLPATHS TRIAL#
I believe it has a 60 day free trial period too.
I will go and get the Meshcam demo and see how These can get rather Large 60 x 30 and larger.Ĭertainly several compromises can be considered.īut I seem to have my teeth into this one issue at present. My goal is to cut Fuselage L&R HALVES for Model gliders out of Dense Foam for Mold making. It's just those Larger jobs where efficency comes
What I want to eliminate from raster style millingĪ 'bounding box' would be set around the L and itĪ Domed shape or similar that mostly fills a bounding box is no problem. Looks like Meshcam is the cheaper of the two. I guess I COULD go out and try to find some TAP or G-CODE to DXF program out there in CNC-land someplace.īut not having access to expensive toolpath SW - Got any other ideas ? I see are in 'top view' are a bunch of lines that DID NOT APPEAR in the preview !?!?! The latest SB program did a fine job converting from Tap to SBP but going Back to DXF I get something wierd ! At least it wont import into my CAD with any resemblence to the original.Įverything seems JAMMED to one plane in Z and all So I figured I COULD convert SBP to DXF and trim off ALL the excess lines - RIGHT ? sigh. There is A LOT of wasted time milling off materialĪll I really want to mill is THE PART, ya know.

I then use a cheap tool path creation program after exporting form CAD to IGES.ĪT THIS POINT it converts tap and then to SPB ok and looks ok in the SB preview windows I have a mind to make a mold for a LARGE model glider and have created the model in MicroStation modeler. that all needed!īet you guys thought I'd dropped off the face of the earth, eh ? :-) I hope I did'nt scared someone while I suggest a way to ease one life?! If someone wish to give it a try, I'll be gald to mail it and gives instructions. People who are not familiar with such file editing MUST BE CAREFULL in that they should work on copy of the original file(s) so messing up a file while testing won't be too dramatic. The part I changed on my post are ONLY the header and the FOOTER part I did'nt change anything about how the post process the toolpath. One need to enter EACH time he post a file why not change the post?! The header writer is still a VERY USEFULL utility.
#ENROUTE 4 REFRESH TOOLPATHS SOFTWARE#
don't be scared, try yourself to better suit your needs and wishes!!!ĪrtCAM software (Part Wizard included) don't have post editor. This file has been locked your ArtCAM product may not work if you edit this file Delcam Check Sum #thiswasaverylongnumberhere#
I am sometime a little sarcastic about thing like 'don't do this and that'. The rest will take effect at the moment of the post file saving. Wont appear correctly if you don't restart the software. but be carefull and ask me if you need help about it.'Ĭhanges will partialy take effect the next time you'll start 'ArtCAM software' it's name in the posts choice. when I purchase Insignia, one of my questions was 'Can I change the post so the tool would home elsewhere?' The reseller rep told me 'Yes and you can change whatever you wish about it. I must be honest I really don't know what is a 'checksum'.
#ENROUTE 4 REFRESH TOOLPATHS HOW TO#
or I'll teach how to do it! One can learn more about editing the ArtCAM posts from this document me know if you need more infos. I'd be glad to share the post with you (all) assuming that I'm allowed to do so. I could have included anything else to the file (like a personnal signature for the file). I still have the original handy just in case.Īs you can see, I control a router here (the PAUSE is too short for a spindle I believe). It's only adding thoses 'control lines' to the moves and jogs file. I've just add some line to the 'Shopbot-inch_arc.CON' (which is the post file) to input thoses lines automaticaly so I don't have to bother anymore about it.
#ENROUTE 4 REFRESH TOOLPATHS CODE#
You probably already know how to type in the lines of code to do so.
