OK, I thought about it for a while and I think I agree with you after all. I did add an FAQ section to the manual to explain this behavior. I think the...
Would it be possible to incorporate a tool change feature whilst doing this? It could be as simple as adding a note to the g-code, in between the roughing pass...
I've been working on a new way to view the toolpath parameters and change them dynamically. Part of this change will be to potentially remove the intermediate...
I think the toolpath delay is acceptable, although it would be nice if slightly quicker in the future, no big deal though. The option not to create a finnish...
Just wanted to let everyone know that MeshCAM Beta 8 is available from: http://www.robgrz.com . Below are the improvements in this version. Beta 8 - Added...
Hello. Jon Salaban here from Gurnee, Illinois. I teach industrial technology at Warren Township High School in Gurnee. I just wanted to say thanks for your...
Great to hear. I'd like to start a user project page on the MeshCAM website, so if they'd like to send pictures of their work I'd really appreciate it. ...
As most of you know the ultimate goal of the MeshCAM beta program is to end up with a good product for sale. I've taken a long time with the beta program to...
I have already talked to you about the inclusion of an end mill over on cnczone. But I just thought I'd throw a few more ideas at you, just for opinions...
I agree with Jason,and the ability to change the step over on screen would be a real time saver. A stop or abort button is also needed when you realize the...
Rob, A thing I would really like, is to be able to position the work volume within the raw stock. You have 90% of the capability there already, I think, in the...
I've actually got that exact command in the works. The problem is that, being and engineer, I have no graphics talent and I put it on hold until I could get...
I just added the flat endmill support a couple of nights ago. I'll probably release it next week. The stepover problem can be solved a couple of ways, but...
The only things I'd like to see are things you are (or were) already planning to implement 1. .dxf import (not everyone (or all software) can easily save as...
Hi, I am new in this group. I bought a Maxnc-10 Open Loop machine and now I want to do a relief from a greyscale photo. Is there a version or patch (for...
MeshCAM outputs pretty standard gcode, so I would expect it to work as it is. If you find an incompatibility then please let me know and I'll try to resolve...
Hello. I am a high school teacher. I have a Maxnc 10 OL mill in my classsroom and have been using Meshcam to produce g-code. The results are great! You...
It's probably me, but if I define textures/bump-maps for an stl file, is there any way they could be read by meshcam? If I render my file in my software...
Bump maps only show up in renders. The surface is still actually smooth. What you want is usually called a displacement map,which actually moves the geometry,...
Gerry is right; what you were seeing is a rendering effect. You'll need to find a cad program which will let you change the geometry with a texture, not just...
Yep, thanks guys, I've just been doing some reading-up on the subject, and it has just confirmed what you both said. Oh well, at least with meshcams new...
Whilst hunting around for software to convert a bitmap to 3d, I stumbled across a program called Cybermesh. It converts bmp to dxf, 3ds, and a couple other...
Just wanted to let everyone know that MeshCAM Beta 9 is available from http:// www.robgrz.com/meshcam.phtml . The main new feature is support for flat...
Not sure if you know about this one, but when using the mouse wheel to zoom in/out, it will zoom in fine, but will not zoom out completely. It seems to zoom...
I added this feature today. Has the side benefit of allowing you to machine a tall part in thinner slabs to be glued together later. I'll try to get it out...
Hi Robert, I have one issue. It may just be me and my inexperience but when I load a photo and process it if I forget to reset the step over when needed, I...
