#Cambam 4th axis software

Open source and web based software in Flash based on PartKam. (for an example with heeks see see by Mário Saleiro)

Inkscape - vector drawing and manipulation.

3 3D Slicing for Additive Manufacturing.

Open Office or Libre Office - writer, calc (spreadsheets), impress (presentations), draw, math and base.

Fab Modules - an important piece of software that allows nearly any digital file to be sent to nearly any machine.

Python - a programming language on which many of these programs are based.

The open source operating system Ubuntu is preferred, though all software listed in this section are cross-platform.

This means the greatest likelihood of direct design sharing and the largest population of people able to help out where there's a problem. If you're just starting out or outfitting a new computer, the preferred minimum setup is based on all freely available cross-platform software. While professional or commercial software can be used with the machines, open source software and cross platform is the most shareable resource. Generally, the software used in fab labs are design software - drawing or computation programs - and differ by lab.

The G68 code is now swallowed by the "GCode Wrapper" program and does not get through to the output.Software is the collection of programs and related data that instruct a computer. This is OK for a flat toolpath, but seems to give Mach3 hysterics when an A axis is used. : CamBam sometimes adds a "G68" code to the toolpath. The Borland C++ Builder 4 source code is included so that you can check for yourself that the program does nothing unpleasant to your computer. ini file in the directory you put the programs into.

It should work in any 32 bit windows operating system.

The program is a Windows program, and is known to run on Windows XP and Windows 7 (32 & 64 bit versions).

The program, pdf help file, a readme file and source code are included in the zip file.ĭownload the G Code Wrapper Program. It is highly unlikely that sizes of less than 0.1mm/1 degree would ever be noticeable on the work and such precision wouldn't add greatly to the machining time. For large arcs it is specified by segment length, and for tiny arcs it's possible to specify the maximum angle the segment subtends around the centre of the arc. The user has control over the straight line segment size. All arcs are converted within the program to straight line segments before being treated in the same way as normal straight lines. All straight lines with a component in the wrapped axis are converted into rotations and a movement in a the machine's X axis only. The program works by reading and understanding the toolpath. Letter height is 1.5mm, depth of engraving 0.15mm. There is even room in the shape to make a feature of the hallmarks too. Here's the engraving wrapped from the 2D drawing, path created in CAMBam and then wrapped onto the ring. The engraving on the cap ring of my prototype CNC machined pen. When the Y axis was wrapped onto the A Axis, with a 15mm work diameter, the Mach 3 toolpath is as below: When the X Axis was wrapped onto the A Axis, with a 75mm work diameter, the Mach 3 toolpath is as below: To give an example using a toolpath that engraves 'Hello' (red dotted line = rapid feed, blue line = machine feed & magenta arc = arc - notice how the wrapped versions of the letter 'O' are no longer arcs): Either the X or Y axes can be wrapped and three settings can be tweaked to change the radius & machining plane. The program wraps an XY plane toolpath around the A Axis. So, I decided to write my own wrapper program. There are a lot of functions in CNCWrapper I do not understand or don't need that I feel I'd be required to pay for. Now, I am constitutionally unhappy about paying for software if I don't need to, and I am even less happy to pay for stuff I'll only rarely use. CAMBam can create a toolpath for a 2D toolpath type arrangement, and 'CNCWrapper' does the wrapping. In order to be able to engrave the surface of a pen, you either have to create engraving programs using the X & A axes by hand (because almost no programs exist that allow this sort of idea) or you create the toolpath as a flat shape, then wrap it around the surface. I have only recently started using a CNC machine and want to use it for making pens. CNC G Code Wrapping CNC G Code Wrapper Program Download
