  1. Re: Low cost/free CAM solution for 3D relief

    That sounds like like a UX-bug in the CAM not communicating clearly that it is working and what it is working on. (Plus ability to Pause, Abort and maybe a progress).
  2. Re: Low cost/free CAM solution for 3D relief

    I also suggest Deskproto. Detailed meshes like reliefs are where it really is shines. CAM software for technical parts (like Fusion360) usually can't handle this properly.
  3. Re: have STL of bas relief with undercuts, which CAM will make 4 or 5 axis toolpaths?

    You could have a look at DESKPROTO. Version 7 just came out. It work great with huge meshes especially for artistic work like reliefs, busts/statues and jewelry and is very affordable. However it...

    Okay.
    Thanks.
  5. Re: Any way to get simulation to actually simulate your machine's acceleration?

    DeskProto subforum gone?

    I remember there used to be a subforum for DeskProto here.
    Was it removed some time ago?

    That's how Injection Molding works. Not Design FOR injection molding.

  11. Re: ALIBRE / GEOMAGIC What are your thoughts about Support and Maintenance

    There hasn't been any update to Geomagic Design Studio since 2015.0.1, has there?
    (I have not continued my support contract. So I'm out of the loop on news.)

    Re: Help! Harmonic Drive 4th Axis Troubles

    I have the same chinese 50:1 harmonic drive 4th axis.
    It was to be a replacement for an 8:1 belt driven 4th axis to improve holding torque and backlash.

    Thanks for pointing this out.

    I have the same problem. The solver is not very good. Often I have to reduce the camfer to 5° or less for a it to find a solution at all, while I want 15° or 25°.

  14. Re: Anyone in the LA (California) area that can HELP!!! (China 3040 cnc router)

    check that the water pump is not powered from the stepper driver supply.
    also check for me proper grounding.
    Both to will save you a lot of headaches later on.

  17. Re: Creating accurate toolpaths for 4th axis

    Factor of 5 sounds like you didn't use metric coordinates.
    As for Z, check the free movement height.

    Re: Any experiences with CNC 6040 ROUTER?

    My older Blue Box 6040 did not have limit switches and the black box DC-spindle (not VFD) 3040 didn't either.
    Both from Carving-CNC.

    You would need a machine with a lot of Z travel for that to be effective.

    Re: Mounting wax cylinder to 4th axis

    The wax is way too soft to be held by 3 jaws. It neraly breaks free under it's own weight doing that.
    We're talking 1-2 Kg of carving wax mounted horizontal.

    Inverse kinematic / 4+5 axis

    Is anyone else interested in coding inverse kinematic and collision testing for post processing G-code to make proper use of a 4th and 5th axis?
  26. Re: Experience with carving-cnc.com 6040 router

    I have done that for my 4030 but not yet for my 6040.
    I am still testing the accuracy after this modification before publishing the CAD files and technical drawings.
