The issue was the post processor, as as some other people have suggested. My team uses InventorCAM (the Inventor version of SolidCAM) and Mach3 as the controller (similar to MasterMX) and when we first started, we had a very similar problem. The last image shows the code that made the program crash on the left side. That is because every time i added the code for the holes it would crash the MasterMX program completely. Any idea why?Īlso you may notice that the corner holes are not drawn on the second picture. Instead it looks as if it skipped the curve completely and started working at the end of the curve. The program starts at the right place, but it doesn’t follow a straight path to go to the right place to make the round cut. The second picture shows what it looked like in the MasterMX software. The first picture shows what i want to make (This is in SolidWorks). If you are confused about what i am talking about, i have some pictures: Instead of starting the "contour cut" outside and making a straight line it would make a diagonal line to a different point and then kept going and finished the shape in the correct way. On the CAM software the simulation worked perfectly, but on the MasterMX software it was different.
At the end i generated the code, copied it and pasted it into the MasterMX software, then i clicked the DRAW button to see a visual of what the machine was going to follow, and that is when a weird thing happened. Then i followed the steps to make my cam software.
(Here is the tutorial of the part i tried to machine: ) I modified the piece and changed the units from metric to standard(inches). We also got a free CAM software from SolidCAM, which was compatible with SolidWorks, so we started doing some tutorials and then we wanted to machine the actual part. We got it all set up and we got the MasterMX software working. (Here is the link to the exact mill we have: ). We recently bought a new CNC tabletop mill
