I am sorry, but I am not familiar with the RXDTXP controller, but It will probably work with some of the G-code post processors that is included with the madCAM download. If needed, we will customize...
By default, in most of the post processors that coms with the madCAM installer, is using G00 for rapid traverses. G00 will run the machine in the feed that is set in your controller for rapid...
Just use the variables for inverse time feed on and off for the first cut and last cut sections. See example below.

Below is a post processor for Heidenhain that works with madCAM 7.

The curve that you are selecting for the profiling toolpath doesn't seem to be smooth enough. It probably includes some kinks that will reverse the direction of the curve at some places. Try to use...
Please send the Rhino model with the toolpath that isn't working to info at madcamcnc dot com and I will have a look. It's hard to tell what's going wrong without the toolpath.
Thanks,
Joakim
Grouping toolpath groups will cause problems because the toolpath curves that belongs to each toolpath operation is grouped in Rhino by madCAM. When you recalculate, simulate or post process, madCAM...
This will only work for 2D-Profiling.
1) Go to madCAM options / 2D Options and click the "Allow Radius Compensation Output".
2) From the 2D Profiling dialog, use "On curve" and "Radius...
Hi Maarten,
madCAM 7 for Rhino 7 is released and available for download. All of the levels like 3X 4X 5X and 5Xtra works.

Hi Sven,
There is a new service release with a fix for this available for download now.

madCAM 4.3 for Rhino 4 is not supported anymore (development stoped in 2011), but you are welcome to upgrade if you like. It is possible to upgrade from any of the earlier version of madCAM to the...
madCAM 7 for Rhino 7 is available for download now.
So far it seems like madCAM 6 also works with Rhino 7, but I don't know for how long. It depends on when the Rhino SDK will be changed in future...
It is possible to use an external dll in madCAM 5Xtra. This dll is a piece of code that handles the kinematics, angular limits, overtravels (automatic retract, rewind and approach function) and...
You are right, the TAIG Mach3_4-axis post processor has a decimal point after the feed variable. I am not sure why, but it was probably something that was needed for that machine at the time this...
We have a complete machine setup with machine parts simulation, external dll for the kinematics and post processor for Haasn UMC 750.

Just make a request to madCAM by email and we will...
I think the easiest way is to use the toolpath change section in the post processor. This section in the post processor will take action when moving from one toolpath group to another, even if the...
No one of the post processors for Mach3 that are included with the madCAM installer is generating an extra dot after the feed variable. The feed variable is set from each cutter tool. Below is how...
That looks like a traverse curve. Traverse curves are not controlled to stay inside region curves. That wouldn't work in every case, for example if having two separate boundary regions.
If you...
The curve direction doesn't matter if using region curves for 3D toolpath operations. If you have one or several closed boundary curves, toolpaths will stay inside each boundary curve.

1. It is very useful in some cases, for example if engraving text. Then it's important that the toolpath doesn't travel on the surface. Even if it doesn't cut into the surface, it can leave unwanted...
It's just because the drive surface generates an angle of the A-axis that is very close to the physical angle limit of your machine.
The A-axis and C-axis are rotated to a position where the cutter...
1. There is no risk for collission if encreasing the cut-link distance. If there would be a collision with a straight line connection, it will automatically produce a connection toolpath that follows...
If it's a boundary curve without island curves, it should stay inside the curve. It can be problems sometimes depending on the quality of the curve. It can help if using the curve rebuild function in...
With these kind of drive surfaces, there is no need for angle limits set with the drive surface. In this case, it seems to be a tolerance problem related to the given angle limits of the machine.
...
The max and min angles that you set for the machine is used for preventing any axis to exceed the angle limits, but only if there is another solution.
There are always two solutions depending on the...
Hello,
It should work if you set the Cut-Link distanse to zero. You can set the Cut-Link distance for each cutter tool in madCAM.

One way is to define the planes as 0, 10 and 20 and then use the "plane" variable for the arc motions.
Define the planes as below.
*PLANE_XY*
0
*PLANE_XZ*
10
*PLANE_YZ*
20
What you see in this screen shot is just an example of how to use custom variables in madCAM 6. It is possible to create custom variables that are saved with each cutter tool. You can create any...
If you own a madCAM 5 license key, it does not work for madCAM 6, but you are welcome to upgrade to madCAM 6 if you like. The cost is only $295.00 if you upgrade to the same level as for madCAM 5 to...
