Creating Complex 3D Geometry with Ask The Instructors Help!
This video is a reply to a students email sent through one of our course perks, Ask The Instructor. Yes, a bit sales pitchy, but you have to find out about these things somehow right?
Ask The Instructor can be used at any point in your online course journey. Send a message, attach your Mastercam file, and I'll typically answer within 24hrs...and I usually end up sending a video reply like the one shown in this video.
Online learning can be difficult at times when you get stuck. This often leads to frustration, which leads to quitting and not returning. We hope this Ask The Instructor feature keeps you motivated and moving forward with your online courses!
If you have a subscription that does not include this option but would like to add, reach out and we can get you set up!
...maybe I should mention our certification at some point too eh?

How much RAM does Mastercam really need?

Building a new computer or thinking of upgrading your current rig and not sure how much RAM you need for Mastercam? Hopefully I can shed some light and on this and help you make a better choice! In the video, I tested several different RAM configurations and ran them through some benchmarks to see if there was any difference. I tested 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, and finally 64GB. All were the same speed. ...

Old Toolpath, New Features - Swept2D Improvements for Mastercam 2024
Переглядів 8 тис.9 місяців тому
Swept2D has been around for a long time and new toolpaths have made it almost obsolete. Still, there are times when this toolpath is just the best option. One of the downsides of this toolpath has been it choosing whether it wants to zigzag or oneway cut a feature. There is an addin that allows you to take control of the cutting direction, but I don't think many people knew it existed. The addi...

    Output from chatgpt is nothing but a plagiarized version of gcode(it is a known fact gpt, does not have the intelligence to deciper the meaning of *anything* it spits out), from the available public domain sources. I would not want to waste my expensive material with a gcode which cannot be guaranteed to work perfectly. I am perfectly fine with current CAD software, that do an intelligent translation.😂❤👍

    I'm self-taught in CAD/CAM and being able to understand G-Code in general. That might sound more positive than it really is. I learned enough to be able to use my CNC mill and lathe with good results. When I retired, I sold off my machines thinking I would have no further use for them. Now I'm wishing I'd never sold them because being retired has given me way more free time to work on my own projects and ideas, now that I no longer have my CNC equipment to work with. I've been thinking of buying another smaller CNC mill to keep in my home shop. The problem is that I've forgotten alot of what I learned about CNC machining and G-Code. It would be awesome to have some sort of AI assistant to help get me back on track with what I used to know about CNC machining. How far away are we from having an AI type of assistant with the ability to minimize the shortcomings you pointed out in your video? Also, with advances in this AI technology specifically meant as a tool for aiding in CNC machining, I suppose we can expect for this to come with a price tag that will go higher and higher before it becomes common place and the price starts to come down again. What kind of prices do you expect for the inevitable better quality CNC oriented AI systems?

    @bigbattenberg 2 місяці тому

    Great explanation! I jus started as a CAM programmer (Hypermill) for turning and milling but I have no CNC experience in practice and no CAM experience. So I'm digging through the manuals of the Okuma lathes for starters (there is the most need in the turning department) and understanding offsets is a vital aspect. In fact the big Okuma has a VDI QC tool holder system and yet they have used the 'master tool' system which is not very smart. Working from a fixed tool holder interface is the way to go. You point out that probes have a known length, the same must go for lathe probe arm systems. I have been looking at some Haas videos on their probe arm system. I have yet to understand fully how it is calibrated and which offset numbers are put into the offset table.

    In the first method, I like to think that the tool length offset isn't meaningless, it's just that "tool length" is a bad description. I think "tool distance offset" is a better description since its the distance from the bottom of the tool to the top of the part. In the second method, we have a "tool distance offset" and setting G54 is like a "distance correction offset."
