In this video you will learn how to setup cnc machine using solidworks. I will describe some basic functions of solidworks HSM express to make gcode for cnc milling. Milling Operations you will learn in this video are: 1. Defining stock and origin of part. 2. setting up 2D face milling operation. 3. 2D pocket milling operation. 4. cnc milling simulation. 5. Post processor selection. 6. How to save all functions as gcode. 7. How to send gcode to your cnc machine.

Getting your Solidworks drawing lasercut ready

Hello everyone, In this tutorial, I will explain and give tips for converting your Solidworks drawing to a vector file that CNC machines can read. I will be focusing on a laser cutter in this tutorial. I will be using Solidworks and Adobe Illustrator in this tutorial. This is paid software if you want to use free software I recommend using Fusion 360 for 3D modeling and Inkscape for vector image editing. If you have any questions or are missing information in this tutorial please leave a comment below so I can update the tutorial.

Saving your Fusion 360 design in your local storage

Hi @https://grabcad.com/cyrhuz.sortijas.bocar-1, You've mentioned earlier that your license is about to expire. The good news is it will prompt you options of renewing your educational license. I figured that you asked about these because you're worried that your precious thesis file that you put in so much effort will be lost. Luckily all design files from f360 is saved in the cloud (internet connection required). So there's pretty much nothing to worry about. Anyhow, here's a quick tutorial on how to save your f360 design file on your local storage as a safety precaution.

diverse shape translation to JT or STP

Have found a way to import / translate easy shape files like 3ds, wrl, skp, stl, ifc and so on into JT or STP. The shape files can have texture or not. My interest was how to get the shape files with texture translated to JT. For this, I use PCon Planner and save as 3DS. After this, import it into MeshLab (single texture file / no layer) and save it as WRL (VRML 2). This is than easy to import into Teamcenter Livecyle Visualisation (TCVis) and save as JT. If you like to have more imported WRL/JT files into TCvis (JT2Go) please rename the texture or the view results in TCVis (JT2Go) are bad, looks like unplaced textures. If you like to export files with not a texture another way is to use. The fast one with no colours is to save as stl and import it into your volume modeller. The longer way is here to import it into PCon after this save as Skp (Sketchup) and now is to use Automapki (~40 $ or € / year sorry no freeware I have found) and save as STP file. The result you can now import into a volume modeller and use it there or (and) save it as JT and many other files too. Hope you like this tutorial a bit. If you have any questions please let me know.

Convert splines to arcs tangent for Lasercut

Roger Couture

SolidWorks Export DXF in TANGENT ARCS I do not know of a Solidworks macro that can convert "polyline" DXF ​​files into tangent circle arcs. We know that laser machine pilots need it and that some suppliers refuse files containing ellipses splines or only polylines. To export a Solidworks DXF file into tangent arcs, use Draftsight free software distributed by Dassault Systèmes, the owner of SW. Here are the steps you should take to get there efficiently and after a few tries, without much time wasting: Follow theses instructions with steps pictures 1 to 9 1. Export a face, a sketch in DXF taking care to go in the export options and tick the box "POLYLINE". Step 1A, Step1B 2. Download and install DRAFTSIGHT. ... open the DXF file from SW. Step 1C 3. If your export is in spline, you can transform it into pôlylignes with the command "ÉclaterX" (Explode) Step1C1. = F1 4. To remember the procedure, it is only a question of going back to the help of Draftsight menu F1 and to follow the information concerning the poylines and the conversion of these into tangent arches. Step 1D. In fact, the command Adjust (Probably Adjust or Explode in English), this command transforms polylines into tangent arcs into this single function. Step1D and Step2. 5. Save the dxf or dwg and publish it to your client. 6. To import it into SW and or to check it: In order to obtain the tangency between the arcs it is necessary to check the box "ADDING CONSTRAINTS" when importing dxf into SW. Step3 7. And that's the work, Step Last. For me this is a small miracle happening entirely inside SolidWorks! If you consider this procedure too long, know that I lost a lot of time not having known it!  Note: I am not an autocad-user. I know you could do it differently and the final parameters like the number of tangent arcs can be adjusted. But this is a procedure that works very well without the help of software that covers most of the needs. SolidWorks Exporter DXF en ARCS TANGEANTS Je ne connais pas de macro Solidworks capable de convertir les fichiers DXF « polylignes » en arcs de cercles tangeants. On sait que les pilotes de machines laser en ont besoin et que certains fournisseurs refusent les fichiers contenant des splines des ellipses ou uniquement des polylignes. Pour exporter un fichier Solidworks DXF en arcs tangeants , utiliser Draftsight un logiciel gratuit distribué par Dassault Systèmes, le propriétaire de SW. Voici les étapes que vous devriez rencontrer pour y arriver de façon efficace et après quelques essais, sans trop de perte de temps : 1. Exporter une face, une esquisse en DXF en prenant soin d’aller dans les options d’exportation et de cocher la case « POLYLINE ». Step 1A, Step1B 2. Télécharger et installer DRAFTSIGHT.…ouvrir le fichier DXF provenant de SW. Step 1C 3. Si votre export est en spline, vous pouvez la transformer en pôlylignes avec la commande « ÉclaterX « (Explode) Step1C1. = F1 4. Pour vous souvenir de la procédure il ne s’agit que de retourner dans l’aide de Draftsight menu F1 et de suivre les informations qui concernent les poylignes et la conversion de celles-ci en arcs tangeants. Step 1D. En fait la commande Ajuster (probably Adjust or Explode in english), cette commande transforme les polylignes en arcs tangeants en cette seule fonction. Step1D et Step2. 5. Sauvegarder le dxf ou dwg et le publier vers votre client. 6. Pour l’importer dans SW et ou le vérifier : Afin d’obtenir la tangeance entre les arcs il faut cocher la case « AJOUTER DES CONTRAINTES » lors de l’importation dxf dans SW. Step3 7. Et voilà l’travail, Step Last. Pour moi il s’agit d’un petit miracle qui se passe entièrement à l’intérieur de SolidWorks ! Si vous considérez cette procédure trop longue, sachez que j’ai perdu énormément de temps à ne pas l’avoir connue ! Remarque: Je ne suis pas un habitué d'autocad. Je sais que vous pourriez procéder autrement et que les paramètres finaux comme le nombre d'arcs tangeants peuvent être ajustés. Mais il s'agit ici d'une procédure qui fonctionne très bien sans l'aide d'un logiciel cad qui couvre la majorité des besoins.
