better to say, how they program tool path? do they use slicing software (cura, etc) , i do not believe so?? but who knows maybe On Tue, Mar 13, 2018 at 1:28 PM, a k wrote: > how they did that ? > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8BLyMryzQ8=175s > >

I already talk about why I can not use slicing program . If one can do change to existing slicing software then I am interesting to talk. All new thing can be multidisciplinary. That is why I only taking very specific nerrow subject. On Mar 11, 2018 12:17 PM, "Chris Albertson"

Re: [Emc-users] revers tool path.

It sounds like you are considering reversing the tool path of an additive machine. That can't work. The tool end would have to pass through solid material. If the goal is to have your additive machine create different surface properties for material near the edges then this is typically done

Re: [Emc-users] revers tool path.

This is the problem with most non-engineers. They just to solutions without fist fulling sting the problem. Can you state the problem to be solved. Are we trying to improve surface finish? What is the tool being used If this is an additive machine like a 3D printer then reversing the

Re: [Emc-users] revers tool path.

hi i did search on google for slicing software. i try to contact open source slicing program Cura. i could not get hold of software designer, only sale and maybe tech support. i could not find slicing software where head feed -extruder feed can be set CONSTANT. second , in all slicing software

hi i want reverse tool path. it is 2.5 axis motion i did not say --mirror etc motion need to start from bottom point of part and end on the top of part . On Sun, Mar 11, 2018 at 12:16 AM, Chris Albertson wrote: > You want to mirror the g-code file. I'm wondering

Re: [Emc-users] revers tool path.

You want to mirror the g-code file. I'm wondering why. If you have g-code you likely also have the CAD model and can just flip the part over and create another g-code file. But let's say you only have the g-code file. All you need to do to make a mirror image (reflected on the X axis) is to

I have not looked at it closely, but here is a plugin for the Cura slicer that sounds like it might be exactly what you need: https://github.com/mtu-most/MOST-delta-stage/blob/master/Welder.py On Sat, Mar 10, 2018 at 11:16 PM, a k wrote: > Hi > Kurt > i did try to use

Re: [Emc-users] revers tool path.

Hi Kurt i did try to use slicing software like kissliser etc. Problems with doing that: 1- Slicing software output in addition parameter A or E that control plastic filament . You can control thickness of deposition with CNC feed and also with head feed (parameter A or E in some slicing software

Re: [Emc-users] revers tool path.

Aram, it sounds like you are trying to do some additive manufacturering, so maybe you could use a slicer intended for 3d printing to create the program. Slic3r might be configurable enough for what you are trying to do. Kurt Jacobson 505-303-1933 Sent from Mobile On Sat, Mar 10, 2018, 10:57 PM a

Re: [Emc-users] revers tool path.

I've been trying to find a program or online converter that can take a non-symmetric G-Code and mirror image it to cut the opposite shape while still running around it clockwise. There is one for Windows that can split code in half and rotate it so that with proper fixturing a mill can be used

Re: [Emc-users] revers tool path.

In general it might not make sense to run the toll path backwards. Foe example what if there was a tool change? Or in the case of a 3D printer there would be plastic in the path and the extruder would crash. Ans does reverse means the spindle goes backwards too. I'm still thinking about what

Re: [Emc-users] revers tool path.

Aram, What are you wanting exactly? Can you describe just what you want to see? Most any CAM packages can generate code in whatever direction you want. Are you wanting to reverse the tool path of a .ngc file you didn't generate with a CAM package? thanks Stuart On Sat, Mar 10, 2018 at 1:20 PM,

[Emc-users] revers tool path.

hi in there world of CAD CAM software, is there a software that can generate G code path in reverse motion? Or is there small CAD CAM company that can add such capability? this is intricate capability for specialty use. in the big company one will be able to talk to sale or tech support.
