Toolpath simulation where the program first displays a block of grey matter and then machines it away t leave the path is about as cool as it gets. Saves us...
Sorry All, I answered my own question by reading the manual. MeshCam is doing precisely what its supposed to. It would be nice to have that feature though. I...
I might look at something like you describe, but it's a lot of work and probably difficult to make intuitive to use. I'd be more likely to allow the user to...

I've been playing with truespace and have a model that just refuses to go into meshcam. I have posted the file in the file section, if someone could give it a...
I just opened your file in Rhino, exported to dxf, and opened it in meshcam. Then saved the dxf as an stl and opened it again. No problems with either file. ...
I wish it was Truespaces fault, but I'm sure it's my fault. I just downloaded it and I'll make sure it works in the next release. Thanks for posting it. ...

I posted the native truespace file on the Truespace forums, and a guy converted it to STL for me. It opens in Truespace just fine, but I get the same problem...
I have recently downloaded MeshCam and am very impressed with the ease of use. I have looked at MillWizard and Deskproto in the past. I would say you are...
Confirmed, I tried all permutations of older Autocad versions of DXF, and even tried solids and surfaces, and exploding the solid cube into surfaces. Nothing...
Right now it only loads 3D face objects, nothing else. There is a problem with 4 sided faces as well, but Robert is fixing that. You can't turn a solid in...
Uploaded a new photo. 5"x5" using a 1/16 ball end mill and 0.007 step over, .060 depth. I'm still working on figuring out what kind of contrast the photo...
I firgure out the problem with your original file. 1) It had an underscore in the solid name 2) The solid name was "Solid" which freaked out the parser 3)...
... Thanks for the comments. I uploaded the picture also in the Marv folder. It was cropped from a very small wallet size photo (original photo size was...
Looks good, thanks for posting it. I just came across another link the other night http://members.fortunecity.com/ brooksbank/psptut3/ . The guy shows how to...
Thanks Robert, I saw that web site earlier today. Looks good, that is kinda what I'm working at, trying to get the gray scale (or color) contrasts right so it...
Wow, that was quick work! Yep, the flipped-face is an error on my part, the model was created with nurbs surfaces and I haven't quite mastered the technique so...
I try to open a .dxf file and if its any size at all meshcam says program unstable and need to be restarted. I am also gitting virtual memory too low on my...
This is great stuff. I work in jewelry, and milling waxes from photos has been a major holdup until meshcam came along. No other program I've found will work...
Thanks Bob, Nice web site and great looking pictures. The last two pictures I posted yesterday were of an emblem using a 60 degree V point spiral flute bit. ...
Thanks to you: Kids faces, family portraits, emblems and logos, are worth a fortune to jewelry stores; when they can be processed and delivered for reasonable ...
Bob, I'm still doing a lot of experimenting with this and am having a lot of difficulty with staining. Do you have any pointers about that? I know what you...
Do you mean staining the wooden piece after milling? Bob ... From: Leon Stovall To: meshcam@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2003 10:51 AM Subject:...
Bob, Yes, after milling. I have thought about trying to stain before milling but haven't tried that yet. Marv ... From: Bob Gray To: meshcam@yahoogroups.com ...
If you put a light coay of wipe on poly on the wood, the stain won't spread in the grain. I assume you're trying to color the face to match the photo. You can...
