Being familiar with a manual milling machine, the concept seemed similar, and the price of these is quite reasonable when compared to some other tools. My current tool of choice is a CNC router. Let me know when you have time to talk for an hour on skype and we'll try a board design in that session and build the gcode.Excellent results can come from a small CNC router, but don’t forget the software!ĬNC tools, whatever their flavor, can greatly enhance your “making” or DIY ability. Good thing about Monke圜AM is its less about CAD and CAM and more about board/ski building. Stick with the effort learning Fusion, look at the online videos all you can eat its helpful. You and me are both learning I am like the apprentice making mistakes all the time!!!!!! I'm really just learning cnc stuff right now. I'm interested in monkeycam for sure but not sure if it is right for me.

I think the 2d stuff won't be bad and I fact I may still use turbocad to make my drawings since it is super easy, then import to fusion for the 3D and cam stuff and save to use in mach3.

Once I figure out how to create my core thickness profile I think things will get easier. My new cnc purchase comes with a 1 year subscription. I can see the potential but it is challenging to learn. I've really only put a couple hours into fusion so far. Vinman wrote:I really appreciate the offer for help. This position is supported by the local sales company responsible for Fusion product who run training sessions too.

I'm willing to run a skype session to share some Monke圜AM knowledge if you want, anyone is free to join in if we can arrange a time for it that suits us all.įinally, check your subscription for Fusion360, I am using it on an ongoing basis as a startup, my revenue is under the $100K pa and this apparently entitles me to free unrestricted use. It also has a cool link in to Master-Carr catalogue so you can design in all their parts almost everything has a drawing sketch to link it into your designs for much better design quality and speed and bill of materials etc etc. Fusion is complicated but has many great features like being fully collaborative online cloud based sw so easy to share and participate in team design. Fusion tool paths are very smart, compared to say MeshCAM or other low cost CAM tools Fusion is far better at making efficient tool paths that save time and also save tool wear and get a better finish. I recently cut several rifle stocks for 270 and 308 cal rifles and they were amazing.

I am slow to learn this stuff and to be honest I am finding it challenging, but the results I have seen from it are impressive. I am learning Fusion360 slowly, and as a fully integrated package its pretty impressive. If you're slow like me to CAD/CAM then Monke圜AM is a very good way to make excellent progress. You can get gcode out of Monke圜AM in minutes if you know what dimensions you want for your ski/board, believe me it is very very easy. but it looks like a big learning curve.įor most peoples purposes Monke圜AM will do your snowboards and skis and it has had some useful further development lately to control tip and tail shapes and create partial edges for example, and it will continue to develop. But I'm having a tough time learning this software for 3D modeling my cores and I'm looking to see what others have used for their CAD/CAM package and to see if I need 3D CAM or if 2.5d will work.? The CNC kit I bought has a 1 year subscription to Fusion360. Vinman wrote:So I've made the jump to CNC and I'm to the point that I need some CAM software.
