I just started learning freecad and I am amazed by what you have done. I wonder how is it possible to get the gcode of these models for cnc? I put the back cover by cutting the mdfs on the side and bottom by 9mm. can sketchup be used like woodwop or cabinetsense. Thank you very much!!
sketchup is nowhere near any of cad software but is capable of executing very complex furniture as well. You can export drawings in dxf for cnc posprocessing. It takes time to learn the workflow which will be different for everyone. You can see OpenCutlist and there is also a nice plugin ABF but I havent used it much.
Thanks. The Woodworking workbench creates Cube and Pad objects, normal FreeCAD objects, so if FreeCAD is able to create CNC code for its objects this should be possible, as far as I know at FreeCAd forum, there are successful people with CNC...
You might be able to import some of this into the sheet metal work bench to get a flat unfolded view for CNC. That, or if you are strictly working with square panels, you can export the cut list from the woodworking bench which should have your shapes in it. Idk how to get that into your CNC software, but I imagine it wouldn't be too bad.
