  • What software did you use to generate g-code?

  • I used deskprot.

  • with mach3 can you import files from autocad? I know how to draw 3d parts in multiple cam programs, but I'm much better with autocad, and can't afford mastercam.

  • Sorry. I don't Know how to import files from autocad...

  • What kind of lathe is that?

    Are you controlling the lathe thru Mach?

  • It's not lathe. 4axis milling machine.

    controlling it thru Mach

  • Ya know what? I have the weirdest boner right now.

  • @D34Df007 actually ya u could definitely blend with it

  • i think this is awesome and all, but i have one question: will it blend?

  • @CNCx1 how much is a 4-axis milling machine?

  • HA! AND THEY SAID YOU NEEDED 5 AXIS TO MAKE AN IMPELLER!

  • @Aev308 Yes Truly sucks that mastercam is not user friendly like auto cad! I agree with you totally!

  • @diyengineer cut2d/3d are cam programs, somewhat expensive (200 each or 350 for both or so), and made by vectric, but much cheaper than something like mastercam. I haven't tried out anything else, so I don't have any comparison, but they do work well. My favorite feature is preview, and you can see how your part is going to be cut out. You can download a trial (for both), and there are some demo parts you can do. How I'd explain it is that 2d is extrusions and 3d is curves

  • @krap101 What is cut 2D/3D is that the cam program? Free or how much? Easy to use?

  • @diyengineer I use cut2d/cut3d with mach 3 and inventor... if it matters :P

  • @Aev308 I think mach 3 imports text files with g-code in them. I use inventor with pdf's, dxf's, or stl's
