I went back to original post. Client can give swks. If that's the case, might HMExpress b an option?? GO NERDS! Sent via Chucks Samsung Galaxy S? 5 ACTIVE?, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone

Deskproto has a hobby version that is the full version but no direct support just email. It's only a couple hundred dollars. You can download a working copy that will work for 30 day free. Can't beat

Yes they could give me that or a 3D DXF file. However, this file needs to be put into a CAM program that provides G-code that can cut the shape without leaving serious tool tracks. My understanding is

More than not if someone gave you 3D stuff they can give you and STL file. that can be used to machine the fixture. Aspire should look like a negative of the bowl shape same with DeskProto.? Aspire

Cutting aluminum. Let’s say I would want to cut a 3” diameter bowl shaped divot into the top of an aluminum block. What would it end up looking like using Vectric? How about a cone-shaped divot?

It's really hard to say without seeing the fixture design. I use Aspire and it's pretty darn good. What is plus minus you are trying to hold? What are you cutting, metal wood? How good is the machine

Rex, Define cheap? We use RhinoCamPro. That will do 3 and 4 axis constant plus some 5 axis work. DeskProto as Don suggested is good too. I would suggest downloading demos of each. You're going to be

The bid of the jigsaw nobody has asked is what type of 3d element you need ;) If you are looking for 3d curved surfaces, then the best a conventional mill can do is to raster the shape out, which is

They are who steered me away from cut3d. Said it won't make shiny flat surfaces or sharp corners. That said, I'm not making precision parts, just fixtures. If cut3d is good enough for that then great.

I have a link to DeskProto on my web site if interested in purchasing it.?M. Wolgamott www.cnc-n-signs.com?for more Digital 3D solids, eBooks and G code Sign up for new product releases and discount

Cut 3D should do the job, Did you contact Vectric ?and ask them??M. Wolgamott www.cnc-n-signs.com?for more Digital 3D solids, eBooks and G code Sign up for new product releases and discount coupons

Not free for commercial use. It's $1200/year to get the 3D toolpaths. But that still might be the least expensive option. Gerry

What about Autodesk Fusion 360? It’s free too ;o) Sent: 20 March 2015 16:25 To: mach1mach2cnc@... Subject: Re: [mach1mach2cnc] CAM Software With that in mind, RhinoCAM does a good job.

With that in mind, RhinoCAM does a good job.

Anything Cheap and easy to use (including Deskproto and Aspire) will give you the same raster toolpaths that you get from Cut3d. just about any 3D CAM for metalworking that gives you more control over
