CAD - what you using?
awemawson:
I've Fusion 360 loaded up and I have managed to make usable code from it, it's very good at airy fairy 3 D models, but the CAM side hasn't been properly thought out - obviously a programmer rather than an engineer did it !
I've bought CamBam - a much simpler package but more engineering orientated !
efrench:
I haven't touched CamBam since I started using Fusion 360. The generated toolpaths in Fusion 360 are far more sophisticated than those in CamBam.
p.s. I was a programmer in a previous life :)
awemawson:
Oh yes I agree, things like adaptive clearing letting the tool take full sized gulps.
It was the way the post processor customisation needed full programming skills, and the handling of tool libraries was very awkward that put me off. I may well go back to it, but it was getting very frustrating, as was the horribly slow cloud operation
chipenter:
I have dowloaded cambam trial thank Andrew looks easyer tham Fusion 360 , I am trying to generate gcode for the club logo , the invicta horse of Kent meens unconquered just what I havn't done with cad .
awemawson:
There is a chap doing something similar here on the CamBam forum:
