I have carbide create and carbide motion. I can't seem to make a waving flag g code. Does anyone have a g code or can help me figure it out

Thanks

hy / pls share in image, or desired toolpath ... be a bit more specific

maybe i can help with general code, but i am not a wood-working guy, so maybe you should wait for the cavalery


you wish to do kind of this ?

Yes that's what I'm looking for. I'm really lost in how to do this g code. I also have fusion 360. Any help would be great. I've been researching for over a week

hy kylehardie : is required to create a wave + shift it's starting phase

you may begin with a small sample : 3-4 paralelipipeds, same section, maybe different length: for example 3 pieces of parquet ?!

clamp the 1st on the vmc and cut a wave

clamp the 2nd one and shift the origin with wave_length * 1 / 3

clamp the 3rd one and shift the origin with wave_length * 2 / 3

so you may have a code that delivers 2-3-4-etc waves in a row, and you simply shift program 0 / i hope it makes sense

what do you think ? if you design a wave, i may give you code for it kindly

[Kylehardie]

That might work. I'm new to this so you would probably know more than I do. But it makes sense. I'll try it tomorrow. If I don't get it. If you don't mind helping would be amazing. Thanks

Question for you. Can I move a svg file of a waving sheet into fusion 360 or carbide create? If so what would I need to do to make it work?

[deadlykitten]

hi / i am sorry, i don't have experience with svg / fusion / carbide ...

i heared that fusion is free ?!?! and i use carbide tools ? sorry man
