MERRY CHRISTMAS !! - HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

Hi Elad !! Hello class.

In Ver 9.1, I would use the green geometry as a 'boundry' - set for 'outside'. I think.........

Should be the same in ver X+

You may have to play with the inside/outside/offsets

HTH

A coons patch or four-edge surface should get you something close enough for roughing.

Crazy, I think he means 'lead' as in fishing weights, not ledloy steel.

Please re-post this in the 'off-topic' or the 'Industrial Forum'.

You will get more answers there.

Good luck !!

i didnt see a mc stick font only drafting stick and u couldnt do your own spacing.

Yep, that's it in ver 9.1

BOX font is caps only.

If you want caps and/or lower case, use STICK font.

Good luck

I'm not sure that what you describe is possible.

Here is my take on a blend from .125 rad to .250 at the corner.

Take a look and see. I have done 3 different blends on the 3 edges.

See the Attachment below... it's in MC9

I think you need to 'stress relieve' them twice - both before and after roughing . Check with a heat treater but I believe 550 deg to 600 deg F for 1 hr would work nicely.

It's possible the 2nd stress relieve wouldn't be necessary ..........

In my experience, any wrought copper warps horribly when machined, unless stress relieved.

Good luck

Very cool !!!

Good job !!

You can narrow it down a bit if you can tell if it is a die cast, investment cast or sand cast part.

Automotive parts are usually die cast or sand cast.

Investment cast would probably be A386 alum.

Looks like die cast uses A380 - A386 quick Google search

You might call a foundry and ask them what alloys they normally use.

Probably should stress relieve it 1st and maybe again before final cut.

Approx 550 deg F. for an hour or 2 should stop most of the warping.

Hi Daz, this has been discussed before, but I'm not sure what the answer was - or even how to search for it.

I vaguely remember it worked fairly well by setting the Win 7 into XP mode.

I did a loft surface - looks good, except the bow of the boat is needle sharp.....

It's in MC9

^^ THIS ^^ Thad !!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!

Try 'edit - simplify'

Under 'Help' in Rhino3D is several tutorials that will make life easier. Do them first. Especially the 'rubber ducky'.

Also, IGS files work very well between Rhino and MC. But you don't need to use IGS, MC can read Rhino's 3dm files.

HTH

Why not e-mail it to me, bjtautz (at) yahoo.com

Going out for the evening, may not see it til tomorrow......

After Friday none.

Please explain, Crazy..........

That doesn't sound good......

nor750rr, Where is the file ???

I got on the FTP, but couldn't find it. It should be in the MC9 files folder

I'll take a look when I get a chance.

.

Anybody -

Where do I find a link to Cadcam's FTP site ??? I don't see it.

Any of the coatings on carbide end mills aren't worth a plugged nickel on aluminum. Go with plain uncoated carbide.

Bob W - nice video!!
