Lascelles, where are you located at? I am looking for someone who has a scanner so I can see it in action. thanks in advance.

thanks for the input gentlemen.

thanks Sala. Are you using anything? Is nextengine decent? does it require some sort of verisurf software that is expensive? for accuracy i would say plus or minus .001 would be sufficent.

Anyone using a 3d scanner to back engineer parts? if so which scanner, and is there 3d party software required? Any advice would be welcome. we are a thermoforming house that duplicates crappy parts that are made in china. Yes I said crappy! we have to copy existing parts to accommodate existing tooling the customer wants to use.

No sir I have not messed with that yet. Is anything required to build the machine. or can you use a stock sort of machine?

I have had several files lock up verify in x5.The are not very large files with very modest finish toolpaths. I am thinking that multiple containments has something to do with it. I was issued a bug number by CNC. Just wondering if anyone else has ran into new weird verify situations? by the way it is not because I am running out of resources. 2.8 dual core win 7 12 gigs ram some large quadra card

Any one having any issues with importing operations in x5? these ops. are in the correct folder and have been updated. Co-workers claim they are having the post change to another machine. any info would be great.

Did you draw the tool or build it in mcam using the dialog boxes for taper mill?

I am still looking for a way to get a solid out of verify. I know I can make an STL but they are loose and work work in MC's solid layout. I nee to make a DWG of say a straight walled part cut with a tapered endmill. Previo us post: Help Sapien!!!!

YA ITS A BUG, REDEFINE IT OR PICK GEOMETRY OR NEW SOLID SORRY FOR CAPS

Rick, It has more to do with hex IO assignments than Mastercam software. Mastercam may just be telling you that the usb has timed out.

John, Maybe it has sometihng to do with the entire new database platform CNC has developed.

ya because the MU1's always prove to be bullet proof

Peon where do you work at in Wi?
