Excellon to G-Code converter В« on: September 22, 2018, 08:11:32 AM В» Since I'm using Protel for all my PCB design (from DOS versions up to 99SE) I needed a way to extract coordinates of pads for drilling to be able to drill my boards on small CNC router. Excellon files will be converted to DIN G-code Resizing and moving geometric data Customize the number format G00/g01-kommandos or drilling cycle G79/G81 and production parameters or Line numbers automatically be Akkondesk creation tool definition files. If вЂ¦ convesion of Execellon-files to DIN G-Code. Process point cloud data into surfaces and. FlatCAM lets you take your designs to a CNC router. Conequently data have to be converted to a readable format. It just depends on your application and how complex your parts machining processes.My PCB layout program exports Excellon drill files. Vector Cad-only is an excellent mechanical drawing program and will produce the DXF required to use the DeskCNC drilling, contouring and pocketing capabilities. If you want to do some sophisticated 3D scanning and design with fairly complicated machining requirements, StlWork, and or Vector will add additional capabilities.

If you are an occasional 3D surface or contouring user, DeskCNC is probably enough. The answer to your question is that your jobs will determine what you need for software.

Vector can do most of the things in StlWork, but may not use the same approach, and may require an MTB pro script to exactly duplicate the process. These are not available in DeskCNC, although the foam cutting will be somewhat similar, when it is released. Vector includes lathe roughing and finishing, 4 axis wire edm, and 4 axis foam cutting capabilites. The Ring programming recently added to DeskCNC is very similar to the capabilities of Vector, but is still different enough that there are additional capabilties in Vector that can add to that which is found in the other 2 programs. It can also do the same internally using MTB Pro scripting. Vector can process the 3D dxf contours produced by the Totem pole functions in StlWork to create 4th axis rotary code. The bas relief could be scanned in DeskCNC and the plate itself would be a trivial surface design in VectorCad, which would also combine the two into a machinable model, including adding text strings in 3D. It also speaks Rhino 3dm and iges, so can directly work with these file types.ДЄ real world example would be a commemorative plate with a 3D bas relief in the center. Vector cam has different cutting strategies because it can work with the design curves within a nurb based surface in addition to the triangulated surfaces like found in an. Vector is available as 3D cad only, with no tool path creation capability (contour offsetting is included).

At this point you can save it as an stl file and use the toolpath capability of sltwork or DeskCNC, depending on the startegies that you need, or you can directly generate the toolpaths in Vector and output the job through VectorCam. stl file, open it in Vector 3D Cad, then touch up, extract curves, scale, add additional surface geometry, and even place 3D curved text at various places in your design. You can scan an object in DeskCNC controller, save the. In addition to creating 3D toolpaths, it can design 3D curved surfaces and combine multiple objects within the same design. Totem pole functions for 3D spiral and ring/slice creation (primarily used when working with VectorCam rotary axis parts)Д¬an Vector do all of these ? or do you advise to have all of Vector, Deskcnc and STLWork ?

License for Accutrans, for 3d file conversions (about 40 different types), 3D trutype fonts, dxf contour extrusions, 3D height fields from BMP, GIS contour map data to. What additional capabilities does Stlwork have over what is built into DeskCNC? I was thinking that now that Stlwork is on sale, it could be an interesting addon to DeskCNC? I see in the description for DeskCNC that it has the capabilities of 'Stlwork Lite'.
