    Re: SprutCAM for 4th axis on PCNC100

    I am still working on the model and I will post it when its done. Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to do it with SprutCam and I'm using a test model that's just a solid of rotation of a wavy line. I do appreciate the comments.

    No worries. Passion for everything CAD/CAM here so hit us!

    Word of advice; start with simple/symmetric geometries before launching into simultaneous 4ax machining. Wavy lines (3D) aren't necessarily the easiest to program in CAM especially if the software you use is new to you.

    Have fun & g'luck!

    Hard to say exactly how to setup operations like this. I find no less then 2-10 ways to do anything in sprutcam. I use ver 12x and many operations have changed. As you mentioned stock definition, part model, model import and operation results are not always predictable and close attention is required for many settings, simulation and code generated. I find at times its super easy to get results for rotary ops and other times I fight it and end up just using brute force to get the right results.

    Side note , i was thinking fusion had decent 4th axis ops these days.
