As long as the surface is curved it comes out fine. But often flat surfaces have strange shadows of pockets on them or even raised squares and paterns...
Are the flat surfaces on an angle or horizontal? If any flat surfaces on parts I've done are parellel with the XY axis they ahve been done with a single linear...
THey are flat. You can see the part in the photo area under alans parts. The part machines well where there is no pocket but screws up exactly where the pocket...
Alan, I can't explain the errors showing up in the g-code. Are you using a large step over or large tolerance setting? Your picture and the detail about the...
I updated the news link on the website to use proper blog software instead of the old script from a few years ago. Those who like to follow it can now...

Hi I am trying to mill a ring shaped profile into a flat surface. I can set a stock size for a square the same xy as the ring outer diameter but I then have to...
By ring shaped do you mean a circlular cut, if so you would do that with a G02 or G03 move. Just a simple bit of hand coding would get that, or if the shape is...
Steve I was using a ring as an example. I want to cut several shaped moulds but want to avoid cutting the flat upper face. Apart from the time wasted, I also...
Randy Randy I have used a lot of these workarounds with meshcam and have a great regard for what can be done with a very basic application. Inverting for a...
Martin, Unfortunately meshcam is not your best program for machining profiles like that. You really need to take a look at Sheetcam (www.sheetcam.com). It is...
I tend to agree with Peter but if you're looking for a perimeter function then you can look at enabling the pencil toolpath option. In many cases this may do...

Robert, Try as I might I haven't managed to break it yet, even using one of the most difficult models I've ever attempted. Granted I know better, it's much ...

I've started the new roughing while waiting for feedback on the latest build. I was going to do a more elaborate version but I came up with a much more simple...
Is there a way to use the original part origin from the STL file? MeshCam allows be to set the origin to where I want but id does not allow me to choose to...
You can just type 0.0 in all the boxes in the Set Program Zero command dialog. That will set it at the imported 0,0,0 and keep it from moving when you resize...
From: Robert Grzesek <robert@...> ... Speaking of which, Robert, would it be possible to add a check box for "STL origin"? It is a small thing, but it...
Are you going to bring the slicing option back. I hope so. I have some future projects planned that will need it, and It'd be nice if I didn't have to do it in...
Hi Robert, I tried the latest build (5964) and 4th Axis. I had some errors with a 4 position (90 degree rotations) part. The relevant files are posted here: ...
Robert, OK, I'll admit to getting bored and looking for something to break, but what I was trying isn't that un-reasonable ;-) and the rest of the numbers are...
Hi Robert, I also had high and low artifacts with my test run. I added another pic in the Files:Folder showiing a "teat" on the base of the part, and "dimples"...
Hi Robert, Great work on the latest version. I didn't see on think though when I created a toolpath, that was the ability to hide the z-map and various other...
I just posted a shot of the new roughing code in action at http://www.grzsoftware.com/news/ . I think it's working pretty well but I'll try to get it out to...
