hi all
just thought i would show you in onecnc a catia file which i imported and machined within 8 hours that includes the importation and toolpath generation and manufacture
here goes
picture1 importation

[peter]

what was imported

[peter]

note the component was out of position
so needed to move from in car position ie: lay it flat to onecnc and position it

[peter]

create points on a face to make face level to z axis

[peter]

i forgot rendered image

[peter]

lay in position using pick points notice seat now in position and ready to machine

[peter]

create zlevel roughing stratagies

[peter]

now to preview the toolpath in onecnc make sure there are no nasty suprises

[peter]

here are the pictures of the finished seat milled

[peter]

Nice pictorial! You make it look so easy!

[peter]

hi bloy2003
thanks for the comments
it was as easy as the pictorial shows
once you know what to do with the software
don't you just like the boys at ONECNC the tools are there to
manipulate your part and machine within hours not days (in some cases weeks)
have just looked at your machine? impressed
best regards

Nice Job Petter.
And I have to say I like the play by play.

Now you are making money.

Peter,
how long did the machining take? (I'm curious)
I must say it's a job well done, you make it looks hilariously easy.....

[peter]

thanks for the comments cadcam
hi klox the machine time on the first side was about 2and a half
hours rough and finish machine
milling at 12000.00 rpm and 6000.0 meters a minute
remember this is for pattern makers
2hours op side
best regards
peter

Is my math right?
1 m = 100 cm
6000 m/min = 600000 cm/min = 236,200 inches/min?

[peter]

hilldif
my milling stratagies in speeds and feeds are metric
spindle speed 12000 rpm
milling feed 6000mm
hope that clarifys your question
best regards
peter
