Yes, it sounds like like your macro has automated what we do manually in the XY plane: you draw the toolpath in CAD and you derive the g-code from the drawing, and for "flat" parts.

We want to be...

Hi,

we normally program our Bacci Twin 6-axis machine as follows: Design in SolidWorks CAD, export to SprutCAM, post-process to the Bacci Twin (Osai Seris 10 control).

But for simple contours...

Hi Glen,

unfortunately I didn't make it through to the other side of trying to improve our programming technique for our Alberti - we still use the same on-machine programming that the company...

Ciao Genova,

not much news unfortunately. I've tried everything I can but can't get GEODXF to work for us here.

But you might be able to get it to work, because you seem to have a valid copy of...

Hi,

we're struggling with how to import ISO code to an old V.Alberti machine that uses CNC90 (V3.1).

Until now it's always been programmed directly on the control using the CNC90 software, but...

Giz - you're completely right, SolidWorks can't make new features backwards compatible, such as features that only became available in SW2010 opening in SW2005.

But right now they offer all or...

Hi Stepperhead,

when I wrote "there's no backward compatability between files from different versions of SolidWorks" I mean the following:

If you design something in SolidWorks 2010 and send it...

Stepperhead,

it's one thing to become proficient at using a good and well-known 3D CAD software and quite another to consider yourself a designer capable of being a freelance designer.

3D CAD...

Oops! Didn't see the question had already been extensively answered!

Buscht,

Ah, I see.

In all honesty both machines seem fully capable of "some custom inlay work and some prototyping for guitars" - not heavy duty demands on the machine unless some unrealistic...

Interesting comment Buscht. It is true that with the ShopBot there is support under the ways at specific points and not the entire way from end to end. But the size and shape of the way make it (the...

I see you are in Greece: Perhaps ask the chess set manufacturers at www.manopoulos.com what CNC routers they use. Perhaps the issue of distance/maintenance influenced their choice.
