3D trial Program

Post by AJR »

I am looking into getting that 3d software for the CNC but was wondering if someone had a code file i could try. I only have the 1/2 90° bit that came with the machine.

AJR,

look at this link. They offer a free 3D machinist program along with a few models to carve. I have tried it and it works fine. I used a 1/4" round nose bit to carve and to cutout profile. Don't remember but one of these programs and I think it was 3d machinist, watch where they set (x) and (y) zero. I always set them at the center of my part. Have fun.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
