Ok totally new to Bobcad I am using the demo and like the program so far.
I have a need to be able to slice up a model into multiple pieces to machine and i have not figured out how to do this and cant seem to find any tutorials.
To better explain:
Lets say my model is 20" thick and I can only machine 1" deep do to end mill length.
I want to know how I can slice my 20" thick model into 20 diffeent sections from top to bottom on the z axis. So I will end up with 20 seperate models that are 1" thick. The top most model will need to retain all of its curves. Every model after needs to have a flat top and retain all curves on inner and outer edges.
The goal is to take 1" thick foam and be able to machine it in seperate pieces so that I can take all 20 pieces and glue them ontop of each other and have a 3D carved model that is 20" thick.
So how do you do this in Bobcad? I know there are other programs such as 3Dcut that can do this easily however I really like Bobcad and it will do all the other stuff I need so I would like to be able to purchase Bobcad and have it do everything. If I can figure this out Bobcad will do everything I need and more so one program to learn and master and keep on budget.
Thanks for the help.
