cam studio

Hello Onshape Forum, I have been using Onshape for almost 2 years now, and I was so excited when I found out that Onshape was adding a CAM Studio feature. However, throughout my usage of this new tool, I have run into a few issues. First of all, I have access to a wide range of bit types at my disposal. However, some types…

I run an older Matsuura with a Yasnac controller. It would be really nice if you could allow users to upload a custom post-processor. As of now CAM is useless to me because of my old machine.

Is post processor support for a Tormach 24R Router on the roadmap?

Hello, we currently have a TechnoCNC HD Series 4'x8' Router. Our team along with several others on Long Island have similar routers. The link to current post processors are here Post Processors Software Packages also there is more information in the manual is on pg 27 Techno-CNC-HD-Manual-G2.pdf It is the HD series model.…

I have a v groove bit and am trying to engrave text for a sign. When I use the engrave pattern I am always getting the error Toolpath Calculation failed. Does anyone have settings that work?

We are having a hard time getting G-code output with the proper Z bottom level.

I do not see mention of G41/G42 diameter compensation mentioned in the training docs or in options in Studio. Is this, or will this be, available? Also, it seems there is very little activity in the forum. Is this still the correct place to ask questions?

I've built a very simple job, with four holes in a rectangular plate. I left almost all settings to default, on a 3-Axis Generic Milling GRBL. Verifying is working well. When simulating, I don't see the machine, as I saw in one tutorial, even if I'm choosing for example a Fanuc. When trying to post the operation, I'm…

We imported a SolidWorks part file into CAD and built a CNC process for it under CAM Studio. SO FAR SO GOOD. Now, we would like to update the CAD geometry by importing a slightly revised version of the SolidWorks part file; and expect the previously defined CAM Studio process to operate on the revised geometry.…

I'm trying to figure out how prepare a two-sided model for milling in CAM Studio. I.e. I want to first mill one side, than flip the stock over 180 degrees and mill the other side. Is there some functionality for this that I havn't found? Thanks!

I need to re-orient my part for CAM and can't figure out exactly how to do it. Basically I'm Y-up now and I need Z-up. My part is mostly cylindrical with no orthaganal cuts in it so I cannot select grooves or anything to re-orient my axes. What would be really handy is for me to be able to see sketches in CAM Studio. Then…
