I have defined 0;0;0 as top of stock, this works easiest in Madcam. Clearance is set at 3mm and retract I dont know. But madcam lets me specify a "safe Z" which I set at 5mm. As you see in the code,...
Hi folks,
I have this issue: I am milling with a 2mm flat endmill into silver. I set the Z feed to 20. But Madcam plunges the tool with a G00 move into the material, sometimes causing a tool break....
My programming skills... I'd rather no go there. Rather pay for a solution that I can trust to work.
cheers, Maarten
Oh, absolutely. Madcam is a CAM plugin for Rhnoceros, and what this subforum is about. And PP is the postprocessor that Madcam uses to translate its toolpath into an actual Gcode dialect.

Hi, everybpdy,
I am tempted to buy a Buildbotics controller/ driver. It runs on camotics, Camotics says it runs a subset if LinuxCNC code. Here is the Camotics Gcode overview:...
Hi Tristen
I sorted it out with help of Madcam support. Joakim is very friendly, but not very active on this forum. Email him, that might help.
And for the time being just do not uninstall Rhino5....
I installed the latest version of Madcam but I get a "the name/key you entered does not appear to be valid" message. So.. no Madcam so far. I thought I could use my Madcam 3x license in Rhino 7?...
So, I installed Rhino7 and it killed my Madcam3x. Even when I open a file in Rhino5 I cannot get Madcam to work anymore, it just seems not present in Rhino. Does someone have an idea what to do re...
Dear all,
I am pleased to say the saving problem has been solved. I removed all madcam layers from the Rhino file then saved the file. From there I closed all programs, restarted windows and then I...
Dear forum users, dear Joakim,
Madcam at once does not save the toolpaths anymore. In the Postprocess window it says it did save the toolpath file, but nothing was saved. Also tried saving to a...
Hello everybody,
Does anyone know which Madcam versions are compatible with Rhino 7?
thanks, Maarten
Hi, I am having the same problem and it drives me mad. Whateven I try, Madcam will cut outside the region. Do I have to offset the region curve with [cutter diameter]/2?
Hi MitchB,
Just a guess- if your curve is open there is no way for Madcam to know inside from outside.
regards, Maarten
I presume that cut3d works on the same engine as the other vectric titles. Then, may I assume that the rortary gadget could also be applied within cut3d? That would be neat.
cheers, Maarten Visser
Sound like a good idea to me. Talking for myself, I already have cad (rhino), but for cam I hace vectrix cut3d which does not satisfy my needs.
best regards, Maarten
I symphatise with dave. I also have a small business, with a home built cnc machine, that does good jobs, but its not central in my business. (I make flute heads and woodwind repairs and keys for a...
