In particular, I want it to carve neck shapes. My goal with the product is to use it in my shop for guitar making. Torrent download Trimble Inpho UASMaster v12 OptiFDTD v15. There is a 3D Printing Workbench, which generates G-Code right from within FreeCAD by utilizing the Cura Engine.
You’re the only other person I’ve seen out here that has shown interest in FreeCad. Mastercam offers CAD/CAM software tools for a variety of CNC programming needs. FreeCAD models can be exported via File>Export>Mesh Formats>STL STL is a file format most 3D printing applications, such as Repetier-Host take as an input and then generate G-Code, utilizing slicing software such as Slic3r or Cura. I would rather not have my computer cluttered with a bunch of confusing ‘stuff’ and I want to keep the learning curve(s) under control. I suppose one could just run the STL into VCarve and use their post processor. It would be WONDERFUL if FreeCad just plain worked, start to finish, but that’s probably a pipe dream. That said, it DOES export G-Code and the BuildBotics controller is supposedly able to handle G-Code but there are nuances that until I can test, will remain a mystery.
I know that FreeCad is open architecture and you can literally write your own post processor but I don’t want to do that and assume that you don’t either. I’m okay with the design aspects of FreeCad but completely in the dark about the post processor. I’m waiting on the delivery of my CNC so I have no practical experience to share. I downloaded FreeCad and have spent a few hours playing with it. FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size.
