Hey guys I am looking to get a quote to machine or cast a part out of aluminum. Part is 458mm long or 162mm wide and 60mm tall. Looking to have it milled or cast on it if 6061 ....
I have never tried doing that. I will consider this. If I don’t get anywhere I’ll let you know.

Not sure what you mean by picking. Up lines to extrude. It may be possible I haven’t tried I assume did be easier to redraw.

Hey guys so I have a .stl file I would like to convert to a solid in fusion360. However every time I go to delete the extra certifies I loose contours or get errors. File is rather simple however I’m...
Hello I have a head from a water cooked 2 stroke jet ski motor that I need decked to bump up the compression.I believe the head is made of aluminum and I only need about .5 of a mm taken off the...
Looks damn good!!!looks like it gonna be a pretty nice machine.What sort of material will you be working in mostly??
Hello I am wonderign if maybe someone here can point me in the right direction or will have some insight as to what i am asking.I have a rare part that is no longer produced.It is a cylinder jug/head...
Impressive build!!!!Big size for sure!!What do you have invested so far in aterials???rail the lauminum extrusions and all.and why did you pick such a big size??
So ive made some post some time ago regarding a project like this.I am just wondering if anyone has plans to build a cnc router using 8020 extrusions??This will be my first build.I am thinking of a...
no replies hmm.Is there a particular section for this type of ad??maybe i should list it in a different section on here???Any suggestions??
I am looking for a machine shop that specializes in machining and modifying vehicle and engines.I am looking to add deck cooling to an existing engine that I have and i am also looking to have a...
Turn the prints I have into a digital version.
I am looking to have some plans digitized for a remote control boat hull.Willing to pay to have someone do it right and do an accurate job.I have drawings of the plans.Just want them redone so that...
Hello I am looking to have some plans digitized into a cad or cam program.only in 2d not 3d.Willing to pay to have it done right.If anyone is interested please let me know.
any other programs you would recommend?like cambam perhaps?? or gibbscam??or a simple cam program?
I do not have access to a CMM.So my best bet is to measure it and transfer over to cam as you suggested i guess.What would be the best cam programs to use for something like this??
Hello All,
I'm a total noob!I am just curious how to trace a object into a cad/cam program?without a 3d model.Or say I need to trace a head gasket exact dimensions or outline of the gasket to mill...
I dont have a modeling background at all.I was simply converting from one format to another for my own personal use.I dont have access to higher end programs or know enough to fix or make repairs.
So I have a 3d model from sketchup exported from the program as a stl file.However when loaded into another program that reads stl files the model is either incomplete or has holes and gaps in it.Is...
Yeah thats not a bad idea.Most of my work will be work in aluminum,wood,plastic,and mdf and foam and doing some engraving and maybe some other different things.I doubt I will be milling anything out...
Well that's good to know.Problem is I don't have a engineering background so I don't exactly know what I can use and get good results without breaking the bank.The best way for me is to find a buld...
Yes if I had a steel frame and everything made out of steel your right I would be able to machine just about anything the only thing is I would need bigger heavy duty steppers which are big money.So...
Thanks for your input.I am having a hrd time deciding on what size extrusion I should use?maybe 60x60mm or larger I don't know.The only reason why I am looking at building a 2x4 machien is because I...
Sorry it's been a while,I've been very busy at work and after hours.So after doing some research and some homework.I've decided I will be building either a 3'x4' machine or a 2'x4'.I was thinking...
any other ideas I hate to bring a old thread back from the dead but I came across sketchup from google.I have a 3d model I would liek to have sliced I also have a slicer plugin But it seems as though...
as far as ram goes and requirements to run one these machines what do you all recommend????Also What kind of router is a good choice??
I was thinking about using some 80/20 aluminum extrusions for the frame as it seems that stuff is pretty durable and ive seen a few people on here using it.As far as stepper motors go i was thinking...
So I've been on this board for a lil while.Finally decided that I'd like to build a cnc machine.Something to cut some mdf,plastic,wood,and some aluminum.Looking to buy a kit more than likely a...
OK Will do.Im not sure if i have the file in iges or step but i will see if i can export as one of those.I currently using autodesk 2010 so i think i should be able to do it.I will upload the file in...
