Some views simulated with CutViewer Mill. If the angle and larger than this value, no ascent of the tool will be generated.įor work in mm, a value of 0.1 gives a correct resolution with a reasonable calculation time.Īn example of the result on texts and logos. Maximum angle for the corners where a ascent of the tool will be added. The plugin works as the Profile/Pocket operations, the Z position of the drawing is unimportant the cut starts from Stock Surface. (using the diameter value of the tool for calculations) Goto Plugins -> Text On Polyline The text should now flow onto the line. Draw a polyline that you want the text to follow, make sure it's long enough 5. You will then be prompted for the location of the text by clicking on the drawing. Write some text using the CamBam text editor 4. A multi-line text editor will be displayed. To insert text into a drawing, use the Draw - Text menu option or the tool bar icon. If this parameter is set to Auto, the maximum depth is automatically calculated so that the cutter does not go down lower than allowed by the V. This tutorial describes inserting text into CamBam and generating an engraving operation from it. This value is a positive value representing the maximum depth to be reached. The V-Engrave operation works with text, regions, and closed polylines. Restart CamBam, and the V-Engrave operation will appear in the Machining menu. I am suprised you write about similar problems i had before.
Determines the number of passes to reach the final target depth. To install, unzip the download, close CamBam if you have it open, and copy the file VEngravePlugin.dll to the CamBam plugins directory. But i still downloaded Cambam and give it a try. After that, select the Text field from the sidebar and write.
If the cutter has a flat end, this diameter corresponds to the diameter of the tip.ĭepth increment of each machining pass. How to convert Text to GCode using CamBam: Launch this software and go to Insert > Text section. This value is used to do calculations if Max Depth is set to Auto This value will allow the plugin to calculate a maximum machining depth so as not to go lower than allowed by the V of the cutter. Maximum diameter of the top of the V of the cutter. Note: For this operation, the tool must be a V-Cutter
