Introducing CNC Construct - Software for Manual CNC Programming

,


Presented here is CNC Construct TM , software that was engineered to provide a solution for the math, time, and errors associated with G-code programming. Additionally, CNC Construct provides power and other benefits previously unavailable to manual programming. Here, we will analyze three G-code programs (a 2D, a 2½D, and a turning operation) to seek trends and repeated commands and discuss how CNC Construct can quickly, accurately, and automatically write much of the code of these types of programs. Additionally, CNC Construct was developed to incorporate data from wireframe CAD to create the cutter coordinate and cutter motion information for manual programming. The procedure/requirements to use CAD to accomplish this task will be shown. Sub Topics:Traditional G-code Part Programming, Advanced G-code Part Programming, Format examples, Cutter on/cutter off example, Preparatory command examples, Coordinate Work Sheet computer file, Use CAD to do the math, Programming Example, Conclusion.
