    Using MadCam for 5 axis plasma

    Hi
    I just downloaded the demo and I am looking for some guidance where to look for 5 axis plasma tutorial or sample setups.

    Re: Using MadCam for 5 axis plasma

    Sorry, it doesn't look like anyone has feedback on 5-axis plasma programming. Maybe you should elaborate on the process. Would the toolpath be similar to an engraving toolpath that stays normal to the surface as it rotates around?

    Thanks for the reply Dan. I did make contact with Joakim and he will help me setup the post file and simulator.

    it's only in proposal stage at this time. It will be 16m x 4m gantry type with full beveling capability. I will adapt the current Linuxcnc Gmoccapy Plasma screen. There is a new development of Gmoccapy for 5 axis usage already in testing phase.
    If it all goes down as planned I will post some progress soon.
