Hello, Do you mean milling a 3d model that is articulated and made for a 3D printer? If yes then most probably this is not possible, as milling is substractive and 3D printing is additive, they can't reach the same areas during the operations.
@@MekanikaTools I see! So you would have to split the model into different pieces to mill it separately and then glue the wood together after? Interesting
That could be a solution, but i'm not sure you can obtain an articulated item this way... It would need a specific use case to study the feasibility :)
@@MekanikaTools Interesting! I would love to try that one day for sure. What would be the best starter cnc to get? I'm a 3d printing guy but wanting to expand to cnc haha
Our EVO model is what you need then, it is the perfect entry level CNC to learn, but with capabilities to mill real projects still, it is not a toy. You can check its presentation here ua-cam.com/video/4YATYQC6hI0/v-deo.html
Great tutorial I was looking for this. Thanks for posting. Could you tell me how to generate CAM tool paths for multiple parts from a single stock piece? Is this a good idea though? Or should I just mill one part at a time?
You can definitely mill multiple parts in the same CAM! - in the setup: click on "models" to select the multiple parts you want to mill - in the milling operations: same thing, select the models that will be used in this operation, and select the contour/face for each parts - toolpath will be calculated to get from one part to the next one when finished
I'm new to cnc. I have an aluminum part that has a 2D pocket with a hole at the bottom out the bottom of the part. Should I bore the hole and then clear the pocket, or should I clear the pocket and then bore the hole?
Hi Justin! It will be faster to clear the pocket then to bore the hole. But you can simulate both in your CAM software and choose according to its preditions.
Bonjour Bruno, lorsque vous êtes dans la librairie machine, vous pouvez ajouter une machine dans la section "Local" grâce au bouton "+" puis "milling". Après avoir rentré tous les paramètres intéressant, il suffit de cliquer OK et la machine sera sauvée dans votre librairie.
How do you find someone that can both program your design and then carve your wood. I have floral panels that have some variations in size. I design to have an exact repeat. Do you know any freelance CNC Operators that take customer projects?lmk Mike
Oui, il y a une opération qui permet de faire ça automatiquement dans Fusion360. Ce tutoriel explique très bien comment faire : ua-cam.com/video/TIBMX-oVasU/v-deo.html :)
Hi! The thing is that CNC is a lot more complex than laser/3d printing, in terms of different possible situations encountered. So you need to have control over all the parameters to make them fit your personal case. But if you tend to repeat the same thing (same material, same tool etc.) you can easily save presets to reuse them quickly and avoid entering all the parameters every time.

Perfect.
After looking through so many complicated videos, where they went too quickly without explaining step by step, this was perfect
Thank you, for your feedback. We're glad you found the video useful.
One of the best video; thank you
Good video. Very helpful.👍
Thanks a lot, glad it was useful to you!
Thanks a lot , very simple methodical , interesting , et benificial explanation at the same time
You are soo good.explanation is very very clear and nice
Is it possible to for example use an articuled model for a 3d printer on this? Or would it have to be changed

@@MekanikaTools great, thanks
Could I load a model as a step file into fusion and then use the CAM from there or does the model need to be designed in fusion?
You can import a step file ! :)

Bonjour,
Comment faut-il faire pour enregistrer les paramètres machine dans l'onglet configuration, svp ?

How do you find someone that can both program your design and then carve your wood. I have floral panels that have some variations in size. I design to have an exact repeat. Do you know any freelance CNC Operators that take customer projects?lmk Mike
We do, where are you from?
But how you can post cnc code if you don't have any cnc machine or 3d printer, but want to practice? Everything is so expensive now. :-(
Hello,
You can use both Fusion360 in free version and PlanetCNC simulating a machine on your computer if you want to practice !
si j'ai modelé un meuble, il y a moyen d'en faire un plan exploser? pour avoir chaque face à plat?
Oui, il y a une opération qui permet de faire ça automatiquement dans Fusion360. Ce tutoriel explique très bien comment faire : ua-cam.com/video/TIBMX-oVasU/v-deo.html :)
❤
Sir,I am new.I have milling machine,I can't make design,can you help me
Wow, it's so easy...
To say..... it's really difficult
Is it?
There is a lot of information indeed, but with some practice it quickly gets easier!
GOOD
Why isn't this more automated? This is a true pita compared to laser or 3d printing

It works now.😂
Why do this video have so little views?
Pourquoi vouloir absolument faire une vidéo en anglais ?!?
