Description: Phlatscript is a free plugin for sketchup. It's started as a tool for cutting model airplanes, ..etc. from 1/4" foam, but is continually improved. You can find out more at: www.phlatforum.com I've added a 2nd tutorial, about two tools I didn't cover in this tutorial. The Fold and Centerline tool http
Description: In this video we go through Mach 3 to look over the g-code. We are checking to see if we have any problems before we go to the CNC Plasma Cutter. www.cncinformation.com
CNC Milling operations using MasterCAM & G-code generation.
Duration: 5:08
Description: This video shows the tool path of milling a part on a CNC machine using masterCAM software. At the end of the video, the software generates the G-code for you, and points to the lines where the tool changes.
G-Code from a Raster Image - Open Source CNC Toolpathing Workflow
Duration: 8:36
Description: A quick and easy technique for generating G-Code for use on a CNC router. A raster image is turned into a heightmap based on the greyscale levels of each pixel. This is a great way to get 3D forms without having to make CAD models. See more tutorials at diylilcnc.org

Description: This video show you how to make dxf and gcode with Linux qcad end emc2 under GNU General Public License. You can download this simple python script on this side: wiki.linuxcnc.org
CNC to Art Video 10 - Mach 3 G-Code Verify - CNC ...
Duration: 6:38
Description: CNC to Art Video Series Video 10: This is the CNC Video series on how to take an image to a CNC File. This process is one that many CNC Users want to know, but there is not much info on. Here is your chance to get the inside scoop. For more information, please go to: www.cncinformation.com Before we head out to the shop and begin CNC Plasma Cutting, we will check out our G-Code program in Mach 3. This will give us some confidence when running our CNC Program. Mach 3 is a great CNC Control Program. It takes our G-Code and converts it into Signal for the CNC Controller. The CNC Controller then sends the signals out to either Servo Motors or Stepper Motors. These motors then move the axis to create motion.
CNC Stomp Pad 6 | CNC Plasma Cutting Video Tutorial | CNC
Duration: 4:38
Description: Last video we checked our g-code to make sure our program was correct. Now we go out to the shop and do some work. We zero out the cnc plasma cutter and start cutting our aluminum stomp pad. Once we are done, we look it over and note the slag or dross we will have to grind off next. www.cncinformation.com
Description: SheetCAM Video Tutorial 3 | Define Machine In this video we define the machine we will be using after SheetCAM for our CNC work. All CAM Programs need to know the machine that will be doing the work. CAM Programs need to know parameters like: Zero Location Safe Working Window Machine Widths, Lengths, Heights After the program knows these things, it can base the G-Code program off of them. Think about it, if the program doesn't know where 0,0 is then it could start the program anywhere. What if you had a clamp there? The machine would crash.
CNC to Art Video 9 - SheetCAM and G-Code - CNC Artwork ...
Duration: 9:34
Description: CNC to Art Video Series Video 8: This is the CNC Video series on how to take an image to a CNC File. This process is one that many CNC Users want to know, but there is not much info on. Here is your chance to get the inside scoop. For more information, please go to: www.cncinformation.com SheetCAM is a great CAM Software program. We will use SheetCAM to define our tools and our CNC Process. First we pick the tool that we will use. Next we go through the different Machining Parameters and define them. Then we look at the start and stop points to see if they are in good location. Finally we post-process a g-code file that has all the information we need to machine or cut out the part. Post-Processors can easily be changed in SheetCAM. I have a unique one for my machine because I built my own machine. There are standard ones and customs one. Each of them produce a G-Code file that your CNC Control Software can execute.

Description: Art to CNC Video Series Video 2 This is the CNC Video series on how to take an image to a CNC File. This process is one that many CNC Users want to know, but there is not much info on. Here is your chance to get the inside scoop. For more information, please go to: www.cncinformation.com In this video, we go over Images. There are a number of different things we need to know about images before we begin converting them into CNC Files. There are really two different types of images. Raster and Vector images. Raster images are made with Pixels and Vector images are drawn using math equations. We are interested in Vector art when we use images for CNC. This video talk about how to select images for CNC and some places you can get them from.

Description: Art to CNC Video Series Video 3: This is the CNC Video series on how to take an image to a CNC File. This process is one that many CNC Users want to know, but there is not much info on. Here is your chance to get the inside scoop. For more information, please go to: www.cncinformation.com In this video, we go over the basics of Adobe Illustrator in relationship to CNC. We are interested in Illustrator because it is a Vector art processing program. We use vector art with CNC because it is drawn using math. The line art we are left with is a great toolpath for our CNC Tooling. We go over the basics of Illustrator so we can build off our experience in later videos.
