Intro
Our Grote Cnc Freestafel could use an upgrade. The software is installed on one computer and there is no installation software so if this computer crashes we are without. So a project to look into possible replacement of parts of the system is probably sensible. The problem we are facing is that there is no pressing motivation since the machine is working fine as it is now. It is nice that you can import or create designs on the CNC computer. Best to see if we can work to a similar but better workflow.
Wishlist:
- To find an affordable workflow to get from design to toolpath.
- Possibility to change toolpath while working on the cnc computer.
- Without illegal software (Fusion 360, etc).
- A lot of import options like ai, svg, dwg, dfx or GCode (From programs like Inktscape).
- Future prove.
Current State
Ok.. but.
- The software crashes on large imports.
- No possibility to do 3D toolpaths.
- The workflow can be quit laborious.
Current Software
- XpertMill. German/English software without any development or support.
