now we're going to take a look at using
the stock wizard
the stock wizard is used for setting up
stock for mill
router plasma lasers and water jets
to do this first time going to
open or import a file so come to file
open anchor the examples folder
located on C of cad/cam to
then you're bob cat cam version
and examples for this im going to use a
three-part
2d or 3d this is going to work about the
same
will choose Open this will bring in the
model
now for users that have used
earlier or previous versions a up cat it
used to be necessary to move
or locate Park in reference to the zero
zero point
how it was going to be cut
that's no longer true the stock wizard
defiance the stock and also
a teacher helps you setup the origin
shorts art so now it is necessary to at
stock
before adding any all paths if you
attempt at a tool paths without
having added milling stock the towpath
will
or the system will force you into adding
stock
and to at the stock
right click
milling stock and choose stock wizard
the stock wizard will ask you for stock
typed
either rectangular cylinder call
wireframe which will allow you to select
a 2d drawing or 2d edges for a wireframe
you can base the stock directly of solid
model
or in STL file in this case we're going
to choose rectangular
will choose next now
tickets to find to the park
automatically sizes itself to the draw
so if the drawing only displays
the part that you'll be cutting
stockwell
automatically be sized to that part now
I'm rotating this on the screen using
the control key
on the keyboard and the right mouse
button and we could see that our stocks
been sized exactly the size up the
park to be cut you can
also change this from the auto from work
space which size to material
to pick which allows you to just pick
the geometry on the screen
you want size stock to in this case
let's use
auto you can also
enter d size lane within
I'd stock let's say that since this part
is close to twenty by Tony
let's take the size it was automatically
generated
and change it to an exact number twenty
inches
by 20 inches you could see it the stock
updates on the screen
in this case we have six inch iStock
no you can also
at offsets in individual directions are
at material to stock so
let's say we wanna ed half an inch to
the high
later to the top stock so in the sea
positive direction a lead
.5 and you'll see it the stock updates
Cordingley
and what's at a corner inched
each side San hour
soccer's quarter inch bigger each side
and a half inch
a currency orange tied your stock
orientation can also be rotated in this
case
the top of the park already
is in line with this easy access if the
part were rotated
we can also come in and pick new X&Y
directions
origins for the material so if you
import a part that's not
aligned with the system or rotated in
odd manner you can go ahead and select
a new orientation to work of once
on this we click on the Next button or
the aris going to the right
and this will then ask us about where
origin is on the part you could see some
snap points have been created
automatically by the system so that you
can choose a location on the drawing
you can also set up a location manually
by drawing a location on the screen in
this case this is our first machine to
machine set ups will allow you to
machine
multiple sides of the part so perhaps
you have one set up on the top
and then one set up on the bottom part
this will allow you to you
have the machine moved ahead away from
the park
and pause for you to reef extra slipped
Park
before continuing to cut the other side
let's pick our origin
it will choose the
left hand corner of this you'll see that
a UCS
has been or use a coordinate system has
been developed
this is now the origin or 00
point that the machine will start
writing teacher you can also reverse the
directions of the axes with the spots
let's say we want to flip the y-axis and
then slipped busy going
up ports she get control over exactly
healthy Origins going to be late out you
can also
resets stock cornet which will center
the origin based on the stock
or manually picked the arch
you could choose
work offset that will be used on the
machine work offsets are commonly
she 54 55 and 56 in the code
she and those are the work of sets that
he set up on the machine
work offsets will be useful when
machining using
multiple vices are multiple textures
the clearance plane is the default
look location that the tall travel at a
rapid
position or whenever the machine makes a
rapid miles
by default it will use this clearance
playing the clearance playing
can be overridden at the feature level
as well if you're cutting with fourth
access
define rotary access allows you to pick
a rotation plate
within the Droid to rotate or apt more
information on setting up
for 4th axis cutting can be found within
the Help system
in this case will choose OK
and we now have her machine setup one
with the origin or star location
of where the 0 is on tar where the
drawing is in reference to you they
XY and z. system in here or the
coordinate system
is on important so if you import apart
that's not sitting right it's here or
needs to be rotated around
the stock wizard will address that
George you can also come in and
edit the machine setup which will put
she back into the stock wizard
and allow you to make changes to the
origin
and stock size once stock has been
added to the part you then ready to
start adding mutual
ass will take it just a simple default
or pasture this part
we come to your machine setup right
click
in this case it's a three-part sold at a
mill 3-axis
I'll choose an advanced rush
and then select the geometry
which in that case would be this model
foundry allows us to select individual
boundary for machining a smaller area in
this case I wanna mill
to the entirety of stock return to are
are rapid plane that way it's set
is automatically hold into the feature
as point to five ish
and our top part said 80 the top part
can be changed as well as the rapid
plane on a per feature pace
or work offset is
automatically selected to be work offset
we had
alright in them sheen said this can also
be
altering your change split and
indexes can also be output now
let's take that the
alt half-inch tall all
back incline I'll as you follow through
the wizard
if you click on each box it'll give you
an image
detecting what the function or features
going to do
between the words and images you should
be able to make it through checking
each item within the parameters as you
go through
to creature tall task this case please
senator cutting tool
plunge et cetera options
interlink ce once we've done this week
looks finish
and then right click on the towpath name
in the care tree
go to compute now that we've generate
the talk path from one side to the mall
let's go n I need to talk path to do
this we expand the
advanced rush right click on the tool
Ross got a blank now that we're ready to
cut the other side of park
let's add a new machine setup right now
we have this origin here that we're
using let's see if we were to flip
part over this way
and now cuts from this side so
if we want the machine after cutting
this site pause
move up and away from the park and allow
us to on clap the park
and then slip it over will use another
machine setup
so well right click our machine setup on
go to insert set up
right click
her new machine setup in good at it and
or do this will change the origin now or
cough
this corner and then choose
K this nagging
new machine origin that we can work with
we can then
break the car machine setup and add
the additional tool ass for this will
just use the defaults
no increase
burn depth of cut a little bit and then
compute the toll
now week
see using one piece of stock
we now have to a path that machines from
both sides
sofa
every side
if the part that you want to machine
you'll be adding a new machine setup
so you right-click machine setup and
choose Insert set up
and then neck allows you to come in
and edit the origin for the machine said
if you want to change your stocker at
stock you come to milling stock go to
your stock wizard
and update your stock from there
