machinehistories replied to machinehistories's discussion 5 axis toolpath calculation

"I am using an XYZBC machine so you might be right about it not working for other axis configurations although I think it could be adjusted to accommodate those machines. In terms of the linear relationship to the remap: the current sphere is…"

Yves Gauvreau replied to machinehistories's discussion 5 axis toolpath calculation

"I can understand this technique works fine for an XYZBC machine where the part is fixed but for other configuration like say an XYZAC where A is a trunnion table and C is a rotating table in the middle of A I don't see how…"

machinehistories replied to machinehistories's discussion 5 axis toolpath calculation

"I use the evaluate surface component to generate normal planes at the locations I wish to machine. I make a sphere with a size of 1 unit. I move all of these planes from the current location to the sphere center which in this case is also the…"

Yves Gauvreau replied to machinehistories's discussion 5 axis toolpath calculation

"Hi, You seem to have used a pretty clever way to evaluate the B and C angle. I'm very new to GH and if not to much to ask, I'd like you to explain in as much details as possible the method used to eval the angle. I tried to figure it out…"

voronoi_drill_cells_c

"think is was $500.00 took like 4 weeks. CNC impression nice idea. Its hard to convey a 3D surface in a pic... its like you need to touch it. "

voronoi_drill_cells_c

"a 4' ball end mill that sounds quite interesting. we've used a 2" but that's as large as we've gone. How much does a custom tool like that cost. We have also played around with using clay and sand on the CNC and using this…"

image sampler ideas

These are a variety of image sampler ideas we did over the last year. Most of these are based on the earlier v-groove drilling approach. We are now generating curves and slats from the sampled points as a means to control the cnc. Based on some cnc output examples from Andy Payne and some robot control strategies from Daniel Piker we are now putting out code to both our 3 axis and 5 axis…
