USING A CAM PROGRAM - DXF TO G-CODE
DXF partial part drawing file to toolpaths and G-code
using DeskCNC
DeskCNC CAM features, definitions and use rules
Definitions
Rules and guidelines
Direction
Effect of direction on pocketing a single closed
region
Compensation for contouring operations
Conventional vs. climb milling
Tool size and X Y step over selections for
pocketing operations
Pocketing out to in vs. in to out
Select>Select Single
Two different directions - same part
Combining chunks of code - apend
Rules demonstration examples
Open region such as a straight line or an arc
One closed region such as a circle
Two closed regions, one inside the other
Three closed regions inside a fourth closed region
Four closed regions - floating
Three regions "concentric"
Practical Examples
Straight line
Milling
Plasma cutting
Arc
Circle
Contour - follow line, cut outside, cut inside
Pocket
Rough only, integral number of passes
Rough plus finishing pass
Square - contour outside
Single pass
Rough plus finish pass
Circle within a square - follow the lines
Circle within a square - contour inside the circle and
outside the square
Two directions
Circle within a square - pocket between
As is
Add finishing pass to pocket operation
Add contour pass around square to remove
corner projections
Drill four holes
Link - contour
Contour Z-step roughing vs. side of end mill
roughing.
Rotor - pocket
Pulley - cutouts
