I'm afraid I can't help you with the post processor. All the software I have was bought original from the manufacturer, so the post processor was part of the deal. If it's only a logo, and you have...

Hi Eraser. A long time has passed! I thankfully have found a solution and this is no longer a problem, so I'm happy to help. I'm not sure if you're familiar with LISP files. They are basically a...

Thanks a lot for your offer Anthony. Luckily I found a solution just around the corner!

Hi guys,

I own a flat table CNC machine in Spain and have made a cabinet to install in Nashville. I'm currently here for the week to install the thing, and have just realised that in my rush, I...

I just had a demo for Topsolid and was very impressed. It seems to be a solution like Alphacam, but adding a furniture design feature kind of like sketch up. The good thing is they are both...

Hi Ross,

Luckily I was able to take care of this task, which has repeatedly appeared since I posted that original question. Basically, it was done as Gerry suggested, exploding, converting splines...

Thanks Gerry,

I also think there is some sort of partnership. When I was visiting the SCM factory in Italy, whenever I asked how to do something complex, the operator's response was "Alphacam". I...

Hi all,

This is a recurring thread, but I hope the specifics of my question warrant starting a new one.

I run a company in Madrid, Spain, in which I use a SCM Pratix Z5, 5 axis CNC machine,...

Hi Robert. What program are you using to create the DXF file with? I can help you out if you use Autocad. I no longer do that, since SCM's newer Maestro software is pretty good for writing and...

Hi,

I don't know how it works in the States, but here in Spain, the company that sharpens my tools and bits can also make any kind of tool I require. What you need would be absolutely...

I'm glad I discovered them to you. I'm not too experienced in CNC, but I can say that for traditional machines (table saws, spindle moulders, planers, thicknessers, etc) they are by far the best...

Oh Okay, I get it now :-) I'm glad to see that someone with experience also finds that most brands are Italian, I thought I might be in the dark. Have you checked out Felder? I think they are going...

Ok, you guys are making me curious, hehe. Do you mean that the kind of 100.000€ machines I'm looking at are entry level compared with American machines? Any links or videos you can provide? I'm very...

Why do you say that? I make my living woodworking. If you are disoriented because I didn't mention any brands that are common in the US, I should have pointed out that I am in Spain, these are the...

Hi guys,

At the moment I do not have the cash, and have access to a SCM Tech Z2, but at some point I will want to own a CNC machining center...

I am researching commercial brands, I would like...

muito obrigado! I will try DXF2000 :-)

Wow, I just realised I had various replies to my question. Thanks a lot for your input, I will definitely try these programs you suggest. I did at one point get my hands on a copy of Alphacam, opened...

Hi,

I am in the process of "inheriting" a SCM tech machining center for wood. The previous owner is quite set in his ways and only knows one method for each thing he does with the machine.
