So, you've bought a plasma cutter and you wish you could accurately cut your designs in metal. All parts are cut from 3mm / 1/8" Mild Steel Plate.ĪLL THE SOLIDWORKS, STEP & IGS FILES ARE ON GRABCAD - Please have a look before emailing me asking for the files. Give the RAR file + BOM to your favorite laser cutting company to quote then. What is your approach when an object is designed on a different plane? ZY for example.I do NOT supply kits for these. One quick question though hopefully will not divert the discussion out of the subject. Maybe I was too scared and didn t dig enough when I posted, my apologies. I will start with the simplest part and write exactly was is going wrong. What I really want to plasma cut is the (you can open the Master CAD under the 01hardware folder). I will do my part trying to contribute to this project. Someone said in architecture workbench they started something, but I don't know, is there any progress in this direction? And add to this how different controllers can be, No, I don't believe it can be done. Man I hardly imagine it would be done without serious material management, torch management, corner management. I wanted to start a new thread about this problem, by the way. For now that I tried it - it just doesnt work right. Leadin/Leadout - It must lead in from outside to the starting point, and leadout outside.Good working DXF importing format (and it's a real problem not only in FreeCAD, It's a pain in opensource programs) But It's not Path workbench related.I can't point a starting point, FreeCAD starts where he wants.īut for more serious work it is a must additionally to have a:.
My machine does not need to set parameters in program, only speed, so it was easy to adapt postprocessor for my needs, I needed only to cut open contours. If you remember, here we discussed a little bit. I have some experience in using FreeCAD for plasma.
My gut tells me what's needed is some customization to the post-processor as you noted for torch control and a new dressup for plasma lead in/out.īTW, That's a nice looking plasma table project. When the feature works, write the wiki page about using it.Try your hand at writing a macro that produces the right movements.Describe in detail how the feature should work and the options.Draw some pictures of what the movement should look like.Some possible things you could do, in no particular order: I've never run a plasma table so it's going to be hard for me to write a feature without doing a bunch of research and duplicating expertise that you already have. Just saying the current is 'not good enough' isn't really helpful. You're not giving any indication of how the lead in/out should work or how torch control is done in other applications. Until then my only option is the SheetCam.
Hopefully the Path will be suitable for plasma soon.
