There are a variety of ways to fasten the part to the machine for the 3-Axis a spoil board is always required beneath your part. Spoil Board and Part are Properly Fastened The setup for 3-axis and 4-axis jobs use different equipment and if the previous job was for a different axis job than the one about to be cut, the equipment must change.ģ-Axis uses a flat bed with threaded holes while the 4-Axis uses a rotating grip and a pointed support. Please keep in mind this process may take over an hour depending on the complexity of the part. Prepping the Roland Main Article : Before Starting a JobĪ staff member will assist you with the setup process. If you create the toolpath without a staff member, before you generate the G-Code, have a staff member double check all the settings and parameters you set for your toolpath. If you are new to this process, have a staff member come and assist you. If you are familiar with this process, go ahead and create the toolpath. Once you have your final geometry, you can begin creating your toolpath. Join the remaining lines to create one solid geometry. After creating and opening a file in Rhinoceros, double check the geometry and delete any duplicate lines or points. Before creating a toolpath, feel free to use AutoCad to create the 2D geometry you wish to cut out since DWG files from AutoCad can be opened and used to create toolpaths in Rhinoceros. If you do not have much experience using Rhinoceros or RhinoCam, have a staff member help walk you through the process, since it can be tedious.
RhinoCam is the software used to create toolpaths for the ShopSabre, and is available on every computer in the IdeaShop.
