I got this 3018 cnc pro for 150$ on Amazon and I’m trying to set up catia with it the machine and bit that I have . I’ve figured some stuff out and simulations work, I’m just not sure I put all the settings in it right. This vid helps a lot though thank you
@Dogface1984 that cnc Pro looks pretty cool. I have another Catia video that goes over post processor settings, and I think that one in the video will work for your machine. Good luck, and you'll have to post some videos with it cutting.
@@aaronrunk4209 thanks man I’ll do that. Also I’m gunna attempt to make a PCB with copper blank.. Using KiCAD creates .dxf file of circuit to past on geometry Gunna check your video now, I appreciate it
My question is..do you assign the material (drag and drop) to the .catpart before entering the machining mode. I'm an advanced catia design engineer but just now learning the cnc side.
Just to make sure I could I opened a finished Prismatic machining file and I was still able to apply the material type after the drag and drop. One thing I would check is once you have updated the material, post your code and look to see that the feeds and speeds adjusted to the updated material. Going forward, my habit would be to apply material before dragging and dropping. Thank you for watching.
@aaronrunk4209 yes I just applied the material to the stock and everything worked out good. So to me it seems that your catpart can be any or non material applied but your stock should have material applied.
Great Video , plz keep posting about Catia & machining !
I'm definitely going to keep working on them. Thanks for watching

why save as *MODEL file type is missing for me ?
Do not save as .MODEL that is old catia v4 extension. Just save as .catpart extension.
