Guys,
I am just starting out and need some serious help. I am trying to start out small and just make/copy of ribs from a kit i just bought. I was wondering is there any way to scan the ribs then import it some how into an application to generate the g-code. I have tried a free app and its not working to well. At this time i dont even have a cnc machine built just starting to see if i have the knowledge and patience to do this before i go any further. I was VERY impressed with some of the pics i saw. I am very computer savvy however very very poor at drawing hence the request to scan images. If someone could help provide me with a semi step by step dummies write up on how i go about it that would be great . I don't even know the steps to take to start. Sorry for being such a noob but we have to start somewhere
A bit more info.. I have scanned the rib i want to test with into my computer, i used an application called bmp2din. i then use mach3 to open it but 1. the file is 208 MB and it seems to hang at the end of generating path. and if im reading this right it says its about 8 million lines of g-code, can that be right???? Any help would be great thanks again
