I am very happy with Aspire - try the demo version, you can only output Gcode for some prebuilt examples but apart from So for a small shop I would strongly suggest going with solid programs that do the job instead of bells and whistles.
Some of the modern CAD packages try to get folks stuck with them by having such a huge learning curve that once you have gotten over it you don't want to go through the headache again. I am fortunate enough to be a beta tester for them on ViaCAD and Shark which does give me some bias but they are a good product for the cost.īiggest issue for CAD/CAM is ROI that and learning curve.

I have used others but, currently don't.ĬAD side of things I use ViaCAD Pro v8 which does most of what I need done and work well with both 2D and 3D modeling. Takes a bit more time to do proper set up but is a very good product. I also use CamBam for Engineering type 3D work (Cut3D work on a plane of a work surface and as such has some limits).

If you are looking for good software with solid support without a huge bill I would seriously look into these. They are Cut2D (have not used), Cut3D (own and use regularly), VCarvePro v7 is current version (I own and use on many projects), PhotoVCarve (great for Lithophanes among other uses), and the top of the hill Aspire (don't own a copy yet).

In cases where you need to remove the paint afterwards, you can use water soluble spray hair dye.Vectric is listed last on the top list, which in my view really does not do it justice as Vectric is a family of CAM software with one that is professional grade CAD/CAM program (mainly for Furniture, Cabinet, and sign-makers but has more uses as well). You may need to spray paint the edges of your templates to get good contrast. Increasing the light level shortens the exposure time which gives a sharper image. With a 13mm(1/2") field of view worst case error is generally around 0.25mm(0.01") at feed rates of up to 1m/min (40IPM). For larger parts you may want to zoom out a bit as you will be able to scan faster. The Andonstar branded cameras available through eBay, Amazon and other auction sites also work well.įor fairly detailed parts set up the camera so the field of view is about 10-15mm (0.4"-0.6") wide. Supereyes cameras work reasonably well and are fairly cheap. This will seriously affect scanning accuracy.Īvoid generic Cheap import cameras like this one as they cannot maintain an adequate frame rate and tend to drift out of focus. Some high resolution cameras use image stabilization in lower resolution modes. For best results you need a steady 30FPS. Frame rate is more important than resolution and higher resolution cameras have a lower frame rate.
USB microscopes can be used but they tend to vary in quality. Note jogging won't work if Mach is in handwheel jog mode. To test the connection, enable the drives on your machine and check if the jog buttons in Scanything work. Enable the SheetCamRemote plugin and restart Mach3.

It is still under development but you can download a fully function beta version from the link on the left hand side.ĭownload and install Scanything then run Mach3 and go to Config->Config plugins. It is designed to work with a USB video camera on any machine running Mach3 (Parallel port ONLY, USB and Ethernet adapters will not work), Eding CNC or LinuxCNC.
Optical scanning enables large templates to be scanned in quickly. Scanything is a machine vision based template scanner.
