Make sure it's oriented along the X axis due to limitations of cnc-toolkit.In the tools tab, you can 'attach' and 'attach list' multiple face groups into a single mesh.In the 'view' tab with the monitor icon, you can hide objects that clutter your view and render them as solid objects.In the first tab, you can assign a name to your objects to identify them.On the right side you have a number of tabs, The Editable Mesh 'Attach' or 'Attach List function. 3DS, it splits info face groups that you need to reunite inside Gmax using If objects in the original file exceed the 64,000 faces per object limitįor. It is discontinued but you should of cause still register it for 40.77 € In Windows 10 you need to install this using compatiility settings. (Yes, you need a user account in the CNCZone forum.) GMax doesn't seem to understand STL or the unual CAD file formats.ģD Exploration 1.5 can be found here : /forums/attachment.php?. Make sure your object is already scaled to the right size.I used this tutorial to make these notes. STL-file and tool sizes and machine coordinates are in millimeter.

(For roughing 3 axis milling of X+A+Z is enough) We are only interested in FINISH-passes.positive Z mean 'up' from the center of rotation towards the spindle.The stock starts at X=0 and ends at X>0.The A axis is running along the X axis (along Y it would be the B axis after all).We use a 4 axis machine with the A axis mounted on the bed of a carthesian CNC mill.Some assumptions I do about the CNC machine:
