Description
This class on the CNC router focuses on the workflow for routing a 2D design programmed in F-Engrave. Taking a pre drawn vector graphic image, the students will create a G-code program using F-Engrave software. Each student will go through the steps of setting up the tooling and workpiece, loading the program and cutting the parts on the CNC router. Students will make a small wooden keepsake.
In the process we’ll cover,
- Use F-Engrave to generate a toolpath
- Importing vectorized drawings
- Contours and layers
- Tool selection and discussion of tool choice
- Feed and Speed (use FSWizard app)
- Cut simulation
- Exporting gcode
- Reviewing gcode as a text file
- LinuxCNC
- Importing gcode
- Homing the machine
- Workpiece Clamping
- Vacuum table
- Screws
- Clamps
- Chip extraction
- Tool changes
- Starting/Pausing/E-stopping operation
