Hi Italian' stylin,

I have done what you have done in the past, changing parameters, it seems to be hit and miss.

I am glad that I am not the only one who this happens to!

What tool/cutter to you use for engraving?

Thank you

John Ford

Hi,

Is there a special code to unlock the 9000 series parameters? I enabled the write protection but it will not let me change the 9000 ones, like memory expansion, High Speed Machining etc.

It is on a Daewoo DMV 3016L.

Thank you

John Ford

Hi,

I am trying to do some engraving using plastic sign material. I have a word file converted to a DXF file from Corel Draw. When I try to generate the tool path the "estamp" program locks up.

I was using Mastercam V9.1 level 3, I just got MasterCamX. I have tried X as well, it locks up there also.

Any ideas?

Thank you

John Ford

MasterCam V9.1 (Mill, Lathe, Wire, Design, Router, Art) and MasterCamX

Hi,

I currently have V9.1 level 3, I am expecting X today.

Hi,

I have been using Corel Draw to convert Text/Word files and BMP to DXF. I have had some lockup problems with the engraving when regenerating the tool path.

I have to make a bunch of engraved signs out of 304 S.S.

I am using MasterCam Mill V9.1 Level 3.

I am getting X this week.

Thank you

John

Hi,

Could someone tell what is a "spline data" and how do you convert into parametric?

Thank you

John

Hi John (jmparis),

Thanks for the information!

Yes I have MC mill V9.1, MC lathe V9.1, MC Solids V9.1, MC Designer V9.1, MC Art V9.1

Yes I have a strong Machining background over 20 years. I build prototypes, scale models and sceintific experiments, tool and die, custom machinery, fabrication etc.

Part of my aprenticeship schooling covered G code programing but that was a long time ago!

Thank you

John

Hi,

Could some one please explain High Speed Machining to me, does MasterCam do this?

Do you calculate your own speed and feed rates or use the MasterCam ones and what type of cuts(depth) are you taking?

What is MasterCam Designer used for?

Does anyone use Solidworks than import into MasterCam, if so any problems?

I am very new to the CNC thing.

I am using MasterCam, V9.1, Art, Designer, Lathe.

The machine I have is a Daewoo DMV3016L with a Fanuc Oi controler. Mostly using High Speed steel cutters, some carbide. Cutting 304, 303 Stainless, 6061 Aluminum, Acrylic, Delrin, Teflon, Brass and copper.

Any help would be great?

Thank you

John Ford
