CNC Milling Job Design and Artsoft Mach3 ‘Crash’ Course

 

Key Elements Covered:

·         An overview and step by step demonstration of the process from job design to setting up and machining a CNC milling job

·         Overview of CNC milling machine setup

·         Mach3 tour of common features

·         Job design (including text engraving and basic manufacturing processes such as drilling and pocket operations)

·         Overview of design software – VCarve Pro

·         Post processor overview and GCODE production including VCarvePro 8, Desktop and Fusion 360

·         Job set-up and machining the job

 

This is a ‘crash’ course for CNC milling beginners as well as users that require a refresher course and is aimed at home and hobby users as well as light industrial and manufacturing users. This course offers a step by step demonstration of the complete process from job design to machining a job with your exact product requirements in mind.

 

We start with an introduction to a general CNC milling machine setup and a tour covering the most used features of Mach3. We then continue to look at how to setup a machining job from the initial stages of design (CorelDraw, AutoCAD or other design program), Mach3 GCODE production (using VCarvePro 8 or other post processor) and finally importing code into Mach3 and setting up the job for machining.

 

This course is a great way for a beginner to gain enough knowledge and experience to be able to start machining and be in production on their own after this session and the time can also be used to setup a hobby/small CNC milling machine.

 

This course is also aimed at users that would like to experience using different software packages and discuss the suitability of each piece of software for their own needs. This course can also be tailored to users that require assistance setting up a specific job for production.

 

Typical design and code production demonstrated in this course as standard includes text engraving, shapes and image engraving as well as basic manufacturing processes such as contour and pocket operations.
