    Homag Venture CNC- Need help

    Hi,
    I have a Homag Venture CNC machine that runs the Weeke software from its console. I have all the standard programing sorted out and use it day to day as part of my company. However :-) I want to do more with it and was wondering if it was possible to make it do some of the 3d style carvings I have seen on this site? I have never played with it before and dont have a clue how I would even start to go about it. I know that I can load DFX files into it via Correl but this is all simple stuff.

    Any help or a shove in the right direction would be fantastic. I think im going to need some other software installed to be able to do more.. if it is at all possible....


    PS.. hope this is the right section to post in.

    download the demo of aspire from vectric.com you can test to see if the post proccessor is there to allow your machine, all of the 3d i have been going is generated with this software, while there are others this one works very very well and at a much more affordable price, it is pretty easy to learnas well

    Hello Satori,

    The Trial versions of the Vectric software products include 2 standard postprocessor for the Homag Week routers. One that creates the PLY and the other creates the MPR file that I think the Woodwop control software will open.

    If you have any questions email Vectric support.

    Tony
