yes you can, if you have the installation file.
Before you try that, try to reinstall the latest release.

Wooah! That's pretty cool, thanks JOM!
There is only one way you can cause the toolpath to hit the bottom, and that is if you set a greater Stock to Leave than half the cutter diameter. It is a known habit and the reason is that the the...
I did an irregular box and used MadCam's Project Curve feature, please note that the projected curve is above the entire model. This is a tool path with a 5 mm ball mill with -2 mm Stock to Leave. Is...
Sorry, I don't understand, isn't -0.020 what you are looking for?
Alternatively lower the curve where you want it. If it is a 3D surface project the curve onto the surface, make an offset...
A few times I've had problems with the simulator and every time it has been related to graphics. Have you got a driver update recently?
There are two things here I would like to discuss. Or, maybe three when I think about it.
1. Yes, the default Mach3 post is producing small lines representing the arch. There are a few settings you...
Trung,
What is your hardware spec? Do you have a good GPU?
No it can't. But what you can do is to use the point cloud and import into Rhino. Then you will have surfaces to work with.
What happens if you change post processor, for example the linux cnc post?
Ha ha ha! First time I check this thread in a long time and this is what I read.
Yes I did exactly that. Super simple setup, I even made it on a table as a base. I put some tension on the belt and...
There are updates on the simulator coming. Not sure how much next service release will include but the simulator has been reported to be problematic on some machines (not all). It seems there will be...
In the first post you wrote you have an i5. Get an i7 8 core CPU and you can maximize calculation speed. Don't forget to increase the number of calculation threads in the settings.
Graphics, get an...
I am not at my CAM computer at the moment, but I am pretty sure I did pocketing the other day without any problems in the sim. I can check later.
Can't recall it was made, but I like the idea though.
I have no idea. I haven't seen such a setup but there are some really funky machines running under MadCAM so I am pretty sure you can make it somehow. I think your best bet is an e-mail directly to...
Buy an i7 processor and buy that video card. It will make a good difference.
My initial thought though, is why do you generate paths with 0.001 tolerance and 0,02 steps? Do you create nano tube...
Not what I know unfortunately. I know there are ball cutters simulated for making undercuts and curved tubes (engine intake) but not sure how it is implemented in the code though.
It was Windows then! :D
Can you make a test with the default 3 axis LinuxCNC post processor?
I have a feeling that the post processor might cause an error and the error is silently thrown by the generator.
I'll try to call the office today and see if I can get a response.
Did you use the official support e-mail address from the web site or Joakim's?
To me Origo is the natural way of the working with the model. Same behavior in all the expensive licenses I've owned or used over the years (MasterCAM, SolidEdge, Rhino/MadCam...).
On the other...
Move your model below zero (Origo), select the objects you want to cut and click the first icon in the Madcam toolbar. Then go ahead and make your toolpaths. The workbox you only need to modify when...
There was a problem with MadCam not remembering the path to the config but it is fixed in the latest service release. Don't remember version number though.
Like Mauri says, move your zero point to origo in Rhino (or wherever you want it in your machine). The Rhino workspace represents your machine's workspace.
What version of Madcam are you using?
I think you are correct.
And yes, the RAPID_APPROACH is somewhat internal, the G code processor decides if it can use a RAPID_APPROACH or not when the G-code is generated. So lets say you want to...
Ryan, did you come further with this? I think I know how you can make a post processor for the plasma. I can help you with the on/off but need some input from you (like your expected program output)....
RAPID is the traversal to a new toolpath where a RAPID_APPROACH is used until an APPROACH is activated which is the final descent. But beware, the RAPID_APPROACH is not always used, you can get a...
