This is really cool! Was it difficult to get the CAM/CAD to make toolpaths for the 3D carving?

@WorksbySolo

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I wouldn't consider it to be difficult, more like unpredictable. Partially because I've been doing experimental CNC projects for almost ten years. Not that I'm a super expert, but because I fully expect things to crash and break often. In short, my go to solution in this case was to treat it as an engraving. This category of machine Ops is quite simplistic.

Hey How did you menage to simulate toolpaths for those 3d Concavities? I plan on using similar setup to yours on a bit more complex geometries.

@WorksbySolo

Жыл бұрын

I use Rhino and RhinoCAM. It does a good job of making accurate simulations. I modeled the subtracted shapes using a disk object similar to the actual cutting blade.

Have you considered if it’s possible to mount both tools at the same time and just add or remove the bit or blade on the tool you want to use? (Maybe that wouldn’t be any faster, just curious.)

Thanks for asking. Well, as you’ve already guessed, there is no tool profile to simulate a circular saw blade. If you watch the video, there’s a quick clip of the 3D model. Look closely and you can see the spline at the bottom of the cavities. That’s what the saw is following. Basically, it’s a 3D engraving path.
