CNC Design Software
What I used to do…Before I found design software I was in the stone ages.? I would actually hand lay out a template on a piece of paper. Then cut it out.? Next, I would tape the design onto a piece of steel and trace around it with a Sharpe Marker.? Finally, I would cut out the piece I wanted.No matter what, it was never exact.? There would always be something wrong.? Things like wavy lines,......

CNC Control Software
Here is my definition of controlling and how I like to think about it.? Controlling is using a computer to direct a machines’ functions and motion.? The control phase of CNC is closely associated with the Machining phase.? Why?? You are using a computer to “control” the machining process.? However, there are a few different pieces to controlling.? Here we go again.? Let’s break it down and......

Design Software For CAD
First we are going to talk about the initial element of CNC.? That element is design.? Before you begin a CNC project, you need to have a plan of action.? The design is like a blueprint, you know what you are going to build before you ever build it.Here are some important elements of design that need to be answered:What size will it be?What material will it be made of?Who is the customer?What will......

Creative Design Software For CNC
There are two main ones in my mind.? Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw.? People will tell you one is the best.? I will tell you both are good.? My advice is to try them both and see which one you feel comfortable with.? I naturally gravitate to Adobe Illustrator.? It is only because I use other Adobe Products and like to keep all this stuff in the same family.? I do that for common look and feel as......

CNC & CAD Software - Choose The Right CAD Program
There are multiple CAD programs available for design. Generally people become familiar with one and stick with it. As far as selecting the right one, my advice is this. Most software companies have a free trial. Thirty-day trials are common. Take advantage of these trial periods and test the software out. Then at the end, decide if you want to try another software or stick with your best one. I......

CNC And CAD - Print Reading And Drafting
When I went through college I learned how to read prints and draft. We had a bag of physical tools that we purchased and hauled around campus. T-Squares, French Curves, compasses, pencils and erasers filled this bag. Then you had a pad of drafting paper and a drafting desk. You would pin or tape the paper down and begin drawing or drafting.Drafting paper has a grid to help keep you aligned as you......

CNC And CAD - Computer Aided Design
CAD stands for Computer Aided Design or Computer Aided Drafting. CAD was developed in the early 60s. Today it is the premier way to design, develop and optimized products. People use CAD every day to design virtually every product you see. Generally, designers use CAD to design a product, and then produce prints to manufacture that product. A print is a picture of a part or assembly that is very......

CNC Control And You
Since we are dealing with machines that do work for us, we need to control those machines somehow.? We need to control them for safety reasons as well.? If you give a machine improper commands it can easily get out of control and cause harm to you or the part you are machining.? We want to give appropriate commands to our machines, at appropriate times so they are not "out of control".? The......

Do I Need To Be A G-Code Expert With CNC
Do I need to be a G Code Expert?In a word, no.? You will probably need to know how to quickly scan your G-Code if you are having problems during your machining simulation.? Other then that G-Code and a CNC program are throwaway programs for the most part.? What do I mean by that?? Let me explain.Let’s look at a specific design.? Let’s say a 12” by 12” square.? You build your model, run it through......

CNC Safety
Just about any topic that is covered about working in a shop should start with safety.? Your safety and the safety of others should always be at the top of your mind.? CNC is no different then any other shop topic.? In fact, the highest levels of safety awareness should be maintained when using a CNC machine.CNC machines don’t have a mind of their own.? A computer gives them a command and they......

CNC Machine Controllers
Machine Controllers take your machining instructions from your G-Code and converts the G-Code into motion.? You are off to the races.? The controller interprets the signal pulses from your Control Computer and instructs the machine to move.The Machine Controller is made up of various electrical parts.? Remember earlier that I said some electronic junkies flock to CNC.? This is why.? Machine......

What Is G-Code?
G-Code is the common name for the programming language of CNC Machines.? Somewhat of a generic, catch-all type of term for CNC programming language.? Very few machines adhere to this standard today.? There are as many varations as there are manufacturers.This is how I think of G-Code.? It is a simple language built off of the Cartesian Coordinate System for motion control.? That is a mouthful.I......

What Is CAD/CAM?
You might hear the term CAD/CAM from time to time.? It is basically a merging of the two pieces.? A software manufacturer tries to pick up more marketshare by doing this.? They also keep you locking into their “system” by going with the whole package at once.A lot of the time, this is a good thing.? Same or similar interface on both pieces of software.? Quick flow between pieces and easy file......

Keeping Your CNC Shop Clean
Keeping your shop cleanMy first inclination is to say that it can’t be done in your home shop.? My experience in my home shop has been that machining creates dirt.? I use the term dirt very loosely.? Dirt in many forms like plasma dust, machining chips, and cutting fluid spray.? All of these forms of dirt are very invasive and get into everything.? You constantly have to be cleaning just to keep......
