I am trying to decide if I should buy Via Cad 2D/3D which has been recommended. I have downloaded the trial which has now wxpired but still seems to function (maybe limited)
My task is :-
1. Generate 3D model using Dev Fus CAM this gives me an stl file
2. Cut the model which is 1 metre long into sections. This is to allow me to
CNC mill the mold due to limited x axis travel. Still stl format.
3. Generate g code. (Freemill)
4. Machine ( Mach 3 software)
I have successfully been thro the above process for a trial, but without the
need to cut the model into smaller sections. I thought this would be very simple ! Is my inability to do this in the ViaCad 2D/3D software (trial) just because it's the trial version ? It seems to be OK for other simple functions
Any other help /comments appreciated.
