Woodwop 5 tool path.

    Hello Everyone.


    Does anyone knows how can I transfer a 3D tool path to Woodwop?

    I mean not a flat path but with a values in Z axis also.

    i was also looking for the same thing. searched the youtube quite a bit, but never found anything substantial on transferring three dimensional path. now i am thinking, if at all it can be done lol. I guess, i will dig into some eduhelphub tutorials next.

    Hello!


    Importing a 3d toolpath is possible if you have, for example, an Alphacam or similar CAM program with the right kind of postprocessor. The correct G-code is added to the woodWOP program via the nc subroutine macro. Another style is to add a toolpath through polyline milling, but this depends on how the postprocessor is made.

    Yes, it is possible to import 3D milling paths (actually 2.5D) from other software (CAM) to WoodWop
    I've done that myself many, many times.
    I used Artcam and Vectric Aspire.
    Both are modellers and CAMs
    Both Artcam and Vectric Aspire have dedicated postprocessors for the Homag / Weeke machines

    In the attachment there is a sample file generated from Artcam.


    The file weighs 2.5 MB so ... it may take longer to load into WoodWop.
