Have some questions that I cant really type out about solid fillets. Just wondering if I can get a number to ask some questions. Thanks

what exactly is rastor to vector is it another program that will change the format of the picture or somthing else??

im trying to add a picture to a piece of alluminum im trying to cut

I'm on my teachers account because he had me start to learn how to use Mcam and right now im having problems trying to add a JPEG image if that cant be done maybe how to change the the JPEG to somthing that will work thanks cody

how do you scan a pic. in to master cam x mr2

Well the forged blank looks like the way to go, a billet piece 20x20x10 is $1200. I can't seem to find a place to purchase these blanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I don't think our VF0 has the travel to machine the outer ring with the part laying down. The project is a chopper between the machine shop and welding shop, the entire bike will have a disclaimer.

I've taken on the job of machining 18"-20" chopper rims from billet aluminum. I plan on mounting a rotary table in the vertical position and running a surface parallel toolpath for 180 degrees then rotating the part. Were still working on ideas for the rim pattern and hub mount. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I was a Machininst/Welder in the Air Force for four years, I've taught school for nine years and recently ran an Okuma VMC for about six months. I would like to program and run the machine to gain a more in depth knowledge of the various parameters and setting, especially in solids. Haas, Okuma and Milltronics would be the machines that I have the most experience. Autocad and Mastercam 9.0 are the software packages that I'm most familiar with.

I'm a machining instructor in southern Ohio and I don't think this teaching thing is going to last through retirement. Our student enrollment is declining steadily. I'm proficient at Mastercam but by no means an expert, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a shop I could work in this summer to further develop my skills. Will travel.

I teach at a Career Center with great audio/visual capability, could anyone possibly do a videoconference with us on Mastercam? Need to know: Working with solids, Engraving on 3D surfaces, better efficency

I am trying to lay letters on top of a 3D sphere. The file is stop.mc9 and is located in the mc9 folder. If someone could explain the steps that it takes I would appreciate it.

Hey I didn't get your e-mail, please send it again.

Thank you, I appreciate your help.

im sorry i didnt explain exactly what i wanted. i am starting with a block that is rectangular with the following dimensions.y-2.5x3.25z1.25i have them loaded in the job setup. i want to start roughing from the stock down to the piece at .025 depth cuts leaving .025 for the finish passes. also i want to take out the stock that is left on the two back corners on either side of the top piece in the middle with the hole going horizontal.we want to machine it out the same way but i cant get the progam to recognize that my stock is there. basically i want to be able pick the stock to rough it down to the basic shape so i can run a finish pass lastly. thank you very much for the help now if you could do this part for me i would grealt appreciate it

hi im a first time user so please bear with me i am a technical teacher at a local career center for 11th and 12th graders and i want to add 3-d masterCAM to my class agenda. i have a piece in the ftp site named flagtop.mc9 it is just the piece within its stock. i can run a finish pass on the piece but i want to run a roughing pass first. i have loaded the finishing passes on the ftp site also it is called flagtopfinish.mc9. when i use the same parameters to try to rough it it simply will not run nor will it verify. when doing the roughing i only want to take .025 off for my depths. just to be safe with a student running it. also in the finishing one it is doing some of the holes and i dont want to do that but just go over them with the rest of the piece so if you help me with that i would also be thankful for that too thanx

I would like a copy of anything on wcs. thanks [email protected]

I have a solid model autocad 2002 drawing that I can't get converted to a graphic view that I can work on. How can I attach this drawing so I could get some help?

How do i bring a jpeg file into mastercam 9 and run toolpaths?

How can I print the operations screen or any other screens with the setting on it?

Everyone's perspective on the issue of what's being taught in high school Precision Machining programs has great merit and is discussed at advisory committee meetings every year. To try to keep this short, in my situation there are two reasons for a heavy CNC and CAD/CAM curriculum. 1. CNC programming/set-up/operation, and CAD/CAM usage are part of the OCAP training guidelines 2. Recruitment and retention We are well aware students will need further training in order to perform these applications in the workplace. But they will have a basic knowledge and educated opinion on whether or not this will be there career goal. So much for short.

I'm am trying to make a series of surface cuts on a angled surface. I have drawn the drawing through cad and converted it into mastercam and it wont let me put a surface on the piece. [ 02-04-2003, 01:29 PM: Message edited by: burns ]

I'm in my sixth year of teaching Precision Machining at the high school level, but this is my first year at a career center that isn't afraid to spend some money. We just got 18 seats of MC on the network. Along with 2 hasps to take to the state and national vica competitions. Are any of your high school programs active in Automated Manufacturing competition.

Besides in the help section is there a handbook or study guide that gives a good explanation or demo on using levels in mastercam v8.
