Good morning, guys.
I'm a CAD Designer and we already have a NextEngine Scanner.
This scanner is pretty great, but runs into issues when scanning reflective/refractive objects.
The suggestion...
Good afternoon,
My workplace purchased a CNC LASER-Cutting machine from Germany, from SiroLasertec.
The AC-300F. It is a 3000W LASER-Cutter.
I have no real issues with the LASER-cutter...
Tools -> Options...-> Document Properties -> Mesh
Select the "Smooth & slower" or the "Custom" radio buttons, and tailor it to what your card can handle.
Any other display options would be on:...
We have not tried freezing. I do not think we can do that at this time.
Not that we can afford another machine, but what are the drawbacks of waterjet? Is there imprecision in the cut? Is it...
It has a vacuum but I'm not sure it has an actual air nozzle to blow away material as it's being cut.
I will check tomorrow if we have cut aluminum sheets or if they provided a setting for it.
The Suppliers came from Germany and developed a setting that actually does cut, but it has a lot of issues:
1. The splashback of the Gold gets into the nozzle.
2. We had to move the nozzle about...
Seriously? No replies? :(
Our company just got a LASER Cutter from SiroLasertec.
It's got a number of settings, but even when the tech guy was here, he couldn't figure out a setting for cutting through 1.5mm of 24K Gold....
Cut your pipe using "Wirecut" into two pipes such that the overlapping sections belong to two different polysurfaces.
You can also use an isocurve ("Extract Isocurve" and toggle the U/V to get the...
Hmm... while I'm not a LaserCut user, I think I see the issue you're having.
The issue is, the Multi-Image photograph is being saved such that the 'white' in the picture crops out, either via an...
Hey gang,
At my job, I've been using a FiberScan 20W HQ Fiber LASER Engraver for just short of two years.
It's been doing great work performing detailed work on Jewelry (gold, silver, platinum,...
Oi! Chiming in here.
In order to recreate this guitar with a somewhat successful smooth model, you could probably just use many many intersecting planes to grab the 'ribs' of the original and...
Congratulations on getting a desired result! :D
Hmm... when I first saw this thread, I thought you just needed someone to use JoinEdge on the four surface edges that weren't joined when importing the IGES file into Rhino.
After seeing a few...
In order to do boolean operations on STL files, you have to convert your other object into a Mesh, as STL files are imported as meshes, not as NURBS surfaces/solids.
So, in order to do this, take...
You can also use the Dupedge (Duplicate Edges) command to create a curve for that open edge if you don't have it.
Split the resulting curve vertically using that vertical staple-looking line.

I got it to work!
However, it takes more passes than normal to clear off the plastic.
Follow that up with a nice Steel-friendly engraving for a White Finish. Looks great, but there are different...
Hey guys,
As the title says, I'm having some issues using my 20W Fiber LASER Engraver to engrave a logo on plastic-coated steel (the item is a piece of eyewear- a colored eyeglasses arm).
The...
Sweet! Glad you got it all sorted out. :)
Thank you for clarifying, now I understand.
Well, if I were tasked to design that using only Rhino, there are a few ways I could go about it, but the best would probably be Network Surfaces, or...
Glad you got some knowledge out of this.
It's likely that the conversion program, whatever that may be, took the simple splines, and converted them into many many polylines. I've had this happen...
Rhino V3, V4, V5 user, here.
Forgive my ignorance, but what do you guys mean by "2.5D"?
I use Rhino for 2D linework for my LASER-Engraver (exported as DXF), and for 3D Jewelry designs...
I went and loaded the SHADOW TEST.dxf that you attached.
I don't see any 3D polylines that would cause a problem (everything looks 2D and, as you pointed out, all z coordinates are set to 0)
As...
Okay, brace yourself because this is a long tutorial on how to make this, such that it looks like what you want, is a closed polysurface, is editable (to a degree) and looks wood-like.
Please accept...
Here's a piece of brass I had lying around at work.
It's a dirty engraving (no cleaning pass afterwards, sorry!).
The piece is only 0.75mm thick.
So yes, it is totally possible.
I have a 20W...
If the line is perfect in CAD, exports clean (no crazy amount of sub-curves with crazy edges), and loads great in the control software, then it's the movement of the moving parts whilst in...
So I don't have a machine nearly as large, and mine doesn't have a moving head.
However, I scaled it to 15mm vertical height and engrave a piece of steel with it, and it engraves one continuous...
What does your square CDR look like? I'm curious to see its path.
I'm not sure I completely understand the issue, here. I've opened the CDR as well as the Vector (EPS) files and you've got one...
Your font has overlapping, self-intersecting, or duplicate stroke lines.
Take your font curves, and turn on the edit points. Look right at sharp corners and see if your lines are not...
