Yes it does. I have at least one paid license from a ShopBot user so I expect that it works, but nobody has given me any feedback. Try it and let me know...
I'm trying to code a couple of pictures my boys created. There pencil drawings. After scanning them and spending considerable time removing all the fuzzyness....
Neil, I have done several pictures. My best results come from bitmaps and I use a stepover of 0.007 to as fine as 0.002 depending on the size and detail...
Thanks Marv, That's more or less what I was looking for. I just got my machine up beyond 20ipm, so .0078 isn't so bad. I guess it would depend on the type of...
Hi Neil, My machine will do about 90 ipm rapids but I usually cut around 15 - 20 ipm also. Seems like there is less jerking when the gantry changes direction....
Hello Robert, I was wondering if you are planning on releasing a version soon with waterline roughing. You saw an example of the type of dishing/pocketing ...
I'm planning on a new roughing algorithm, but it'll be behind some other features. It's a complicated thing to write and a big change, so I want to make sure...
Pocketing is really best done in a 2-1/2D CAM package. It's not really what MeshCAM was designed to do. Gerry ... dishing/pocketing ... Thanks. ... have been ...
Gerry, I used pocketing as a generic term here to refer to the fact that the top of the stock is left intact while some material is removed to create a void. ...
Hi.. I'm very interested in meshcam.. seen some nice stuff with it. I downloaded the demo version 50 days ago.. and didn't notice any units. I need metric...
MeshCAM has no units at all, inch or mm. Instead, you just need to be consistent all the way through. If you load a metric model then be sure to use metric...
Hehe, I remember asking the exact same question a while back :-) A few short sharp blows to the forehead with a ball pein hammer helped it sink in :-P Manfred ...
OK, now I understand what you're doing. You either need to live with MeshCAM's limitations, or spend lots of money on software. :) Gerry ... the top of ... ...
Could someone please in few words tell me the capabilities of Meshcam. I understand it can create the tool path from a CAD output. Can it do 3D, 2D, 2.5D etc.?...
... Meshcam. ... No 2D or 2.5D. It will take a 3D model in either .stl format or .dxf (3d faces only in the .dxf) and create g-code containg roughing and/or...

Question about part cutting. I am fairly new to this and just asking for some help. Is there a way to be able to cut the part away from the material stock....
Hi Robert, Leave the computer at home. Your sweetheart needs time with you. You have worked hard with MC, now it is time to relax with the one you love....
Hi Folks, Now that I finally got every thing running and chips flying every where I noticed when I did a name tag sot of thing that the thing was reversed,...

Think of it in terms of the spindle moving in relation to the work. If you have a table that moves and a stationary (in XY) spindle such as a regular mill, and...
