@@MichaelStrength-po8ls nope. gave up and went with Sprutcam a couple of month wich was great awesome software. but its to expensive for me so now i just run with fusion 360.
Thanks for the video! Is it possible to get a structured tree from which we can select the machine or vise? Searching via name is difficult if one doesn't know the exact name...
Hi @Kraftwurx, I may be able to help you. What type of part (SW, CATIA, xDesign, STEP) are you trying to machine? I should be able to guide you through the process.
Can you remake this for the new version that is included in SolidWorks for makers? I have a lot of options that are missing and the software is so incredibly stupid and anti-user that none of it makes sense to us here. All the learning stuf in Dassaults webpage is off-limits for the Makers version users.
Really informative overview, thanks John. I found the 'help pictures' in Solidworks CAM to be extremely useful, so to see them employed in NC Shopfloor to such great effect is comforting to say the least!
This doesn't seem to match the current version of DELMIA. Is there an updated version of this video? (also seeing that it doesn't look like comments get answers... I'll go exploring.)
I have the same issue with 2022. I get to programming but items in the Resource Configuration View are different and ask for things that weren't created/selected (like the tool holder for example). It would have been helpful if he had simply stuck to shop floor programmer for dummies and done one basic step at a time, leaving off all the fluff about editing after the fact, and tricks and possibilities. eg. click on this stupid. Now click on that. Leave everything else alone. Now click on that. etc. etc. As you say. No replies are forthcoming and, from my own sleuthing, there are no other tutorial available
@@garythorpe8727 Doesn't help that the program isn't exactly intuitive. Clearly not designed for hobbyists like myself. Almost nothing makes any kind of sense at all to my poor little brain and the tutorial is a word salad of terms and irrelevant data. At this point, I'd be willing to pay for a simple, straight forward, no nonsense, step by step guide to machining a part with this software.
I give up on this mess of a software. I will probably pay for Fusion360 and cancel Soldiworks. Can’t pay for 2 software solutions and I need the cam module. As far I can tell it doesn’t support any of the hobby CNC post processors anyway.
@@Todestelzer Yeah, I gave up on it a few months ago. Hot garbage is what it seemed like to me. It's a shame, because if you could get SW and decent cam package for $10 / month, it would be totally worth it for a hobby guy like me. It seems like all the parts are there, but the execution failed. I'm sending my money to the FreeCAD team now. It isn't there yet... still in its infancy, but I'd like to see them get there. I'll give away my cnc machine before I buy Fusion after their little "It'll be free for hobbyists forever... it's still free, just unusable! But for only $500 per year you can do what you did before... Oh, wait, now if you want to do what you did before you also need to buy this $2k "machining module". F them. F F F F F them. I'd buy something more expensive that did the same thing just on principle. F them.
for people creating a tool, and who cannot select it after like in the video, you need to go to the preference to change the tool search "allow selection of a simple tool in the activity"
Do I need to "create" a HAAS mill from scratch and spend my time modeling it, or is there a place to download an HS2 with kinematics that is ready to simply import?
Did you make the HAAS mill as an assembly in Solidworks or is there a standard "library/catalog" somewhere that I can import real mill geometry? I just got the software a couple of days ago and am trying to get setup.
Must the body that you click on for the Stock Creation be a Surface Body in a Geometrical Set or can it be a Solid? I am unable to click on a simple, solid part body.
Thanks for the overview with the sheet metal example. At 11:25 woodworking is mentioned. Any chance there is a video overview for the woodworking industry using 2.5 axis milling for example flat pack furniture. Does this CAM software auto recognize woodworking specific features that vary in depths such as open pockets (dados) , countersink holes? I would love to see a demo.
Hello I really like your video and I am starting with the solidworks program I would like to be able to acquire the Cam library as you I hope you can help me
Thanks! I'm going to show this to my Dad who used to own a machine shop back when a 16K memory upgrade for a CNC milling machine cost $5000. He used to write gcode in a text editor. He'll probably shit himself when he sees this! It sure has come a LONG way. Wish I could afford a machining center and fit it in the garage just to play around with.
Thanks for the demo. I'm getting the same "gutter" with my part as seen at the end of the process (@ 2:20, surrounding the "mound"). How do I get SW CAM to machine the surrounding area flat & tangent to the bottom of the gutter?
Super cool video! Thanks for sharing. This is awesome for beginners. We make videos for animators and illustrators too. Here's one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IIlugXs0vfM.html Subscribe to see more videos and tutorials :)
