Did you know EVERY Onefinity CNC can cut material bigger than the cutting area of the machine? That's right! It's called tiling, and, because of the open-ended design of all Onefinity CNC machines in the Y axis, you can cut longer material than your cutting area! Most major CAD software (like ‪@vectric‬ and ‪@Carveco‬ design software we sell) includes this feature for free!
In this episode, Morgan shows us how he cut a full 4’x8’ sheet of plywood on a Onefinity Foreman (4'x4' cutting area), by tiling the toolpaths in ‪@vectric‬ Vcarve This process allows you to cut designs larger than , and on material larger than your CNC's fixed cutting area.
By feeding the material through the Y axis, tiling breaks the toolpaths up into sections that fit within the machine's cutting area, and executes the operation one tile at a time. And for this project, the best and only logical way to demonstrate tiling was to cut a life-sized Operation cornhole board.
Big thanks to ‪@FierySquirrelArt‬ for "Operationifying" Morgan and ‪@TotalBoat‬ for providing the epoxy!
