Am new please inform me better, what is the difference between stl and gcode?
@forgeflarion8362

An stl is an object's save file, but a gcode is the instructions for a machine to make an object. In short a program like FreeCAD or Blender want STLs but machines like 3D printers or CNC machines need gCodes. I hope that this helps

Just learning this WB. Thanks though. Please revisit, Version 21.2 no where's near this tutorial, Fanuc specifically and other post processors are broken. I have cam background, not impressed with surface machining versatility. Will stick with my 1996 package on old P2 and P3 towers with Win98 SE, I machine molds with it so, imagine a CNC router....

Hey if anyone's software isn't allowing them to hit post-processing you may need to go to Edit (At the topmost left) -> Preferences (At the bottom of the pop up) -> Unit System -> Metric Small Parts and Cnc. If you had made a job before doing this I believe that you need to delete it and make a new one. I hope that this helps!

Thanks! Great short introduction to the path workbench. I especially appreciate, that you added the actual CNC process to the video, so we as viewers do not only see the CAD-aspects of this process, but were also "rewarded" with the full building process from CAD to CNC. This gave me a kind of "arc of tension" watching the video, as you bumped up the speed to 30 mm/s @12:45 ;-) I hope to see this in your 3D-print videos too, maybe as a nice timelapse of the printing process?

Just a little help here. I would encourage you to get your vocabulary correct with regards to "cutters". In the machining trade we never refer to cutters as "bits". That name is ok in a wood shop, but in a machine shop, "Cutting tools" is a generic term for any item that contacts and removes material. "Drills" and "endmills" are distinct and do specific jobs. Interchanging them causes ambiguity and confusion. That said, this has been a very helpful video. Thanks for a job well done.

Pretty great video. I learned a lot. I experimented with the engraving paths instead and it mostly worked out. Only setting the work position needs more thinking. A few things I think would be improvements: no music and mention the used FreeCAD version right in the title. Thank you from both a FreeCAD and a 3018 user.

Maybe it's a good idea to point out that in Freecad, speeds are in mm/s and in general in CNC speeds are in mm/min. Probably that's why you went that fast on the bench. 30mm/s = 1800mm/min So probably your machine went it's maximum speed.

Thanks for this Tutorial. I would like to know why the cut started diagonally opposite from where the tool tool was shown, I find this to be a problem when trying to set up my work piece on my 3018 cnc Knowing exactly whre work will start would be nice, I thought the cut should start where the origin is? I hope this makes sense?

Thank you for watching! As for your question, I get that message all the time, and I'm not quite sure what it is. I don't think it's an error, maybe more like a warning. It doesn't prevent the G-code from processing, so I have just been ignoring it.

Hi Seth, I am a newbie to FreeCAD, having previously designed my model in Blender and exported the mesh as an STL into Fusion 360. I have successfully imported an STL mesh into FreeCAD but cannot begin a new job in PATH as I do see a model or template when I open the window. I guess that I am missing a step but unsure what that would be? Thank you in advance and hope to learn a lot from your tutorials.

I haven’t worked with STLs for this kind of application, so sadly I won’t be much help to you. But, you might want to try using a solid model instead of a faceted one.

Does the toolpath just ram the end mill to depth when contouring? Or does it gradually bring it to depth? Some of the visualizations I see on YT make it seem that way. Is it just the choppiness of the visualizer?
@KTECDesigns
Жыл бұрын
Yes, it is set to just plunge directly into the material at the specified depth, not to ramp down. You can use a ramp down "dressup" on the profile toolpath, however. But I think this will override the tab dressup. Unless someone else knows better?

That's where you can see the dressups, one of them being RampEntry. @KTECDesigns did mention that he thinks it may overwrite the tab dressup, so I'm not sure about that. It would seem wild to me if you can't have more than one dressup, because surely many operations will require both tabs and ramp-ins.
