Hello,

We have built a 4-axis (stepping motor driven)Hot wire cutting
machine. We allready have software to convert contours in NC
code and cutting works fine.

Now we are introducing a turntable to cut assymmetric 3D
shapes and ruled surfaces but i'm looking for a way to extract 2D contours from a 3D model drawing file.

By sending a new 2D contour everytime the table turns and performing a new cut. It's my final work in studying industrial engineering. does anybody have a clue?

Thanks
