Use Parasolid models if possible when dealing with solids and surfaces. PREPARE MODEL GEOMETRY IMPORT Solid Edge MODEL (If applicable) Note: When creating the model in Solid Edge it is handy to also prepare the.stl for the later verify. (ISBN )ģ MASERCAM 9.1 TOOLPATH GENERATION 1. You can get couple of free sample lessons at: I also highly recommend reading: Learning MasterCAM Mill Step by Step. If you take this path, I recommend you take the on-line training course at It will set you back $240, but is truly excellent, and worth the money and the time. I placed an emphasis on smaller retrofit machines running controllers such as Mach3. It mainly outlines the design process, and provides enough background to allow the reader to experiment and learn its operation. For those who have access to it, this article is a short introduction to how to use MasterCAM 9.x to generate a workable G-code for the Mill. I finally selected MasterCAM 9.1, as it is available to me, and is (despite its DOS-like appearance) an extremely capable system (as you would expect for $20,000+, I think). ![]() I use Mach3, and although it comes with some nice wizards, they are a far cry from my needs. However, I was totally unprepared for the world of CAM software. ![]() I design electronics for a living, so it was no big deal to me. ![]() I designed all the hardware from scratch, as everything that I found available seemed inadequate for my needs. 2 Introduction I recently finished converting my Smithy 1220 LTD to a CNC.
