It is necessary to separate the two, because the material qualities and behaviors vary greatly and require different tooling and parameters for successful milling. The GSD FabLab provides MasterCAM templates with and without example geometry, for both Foam and Wood projects. Submit file to online queue for approval and scheduling.Verify operations (ensure no collisions and desirable outcome).Adjust operation parameters (tool selection, machining heights, etc).Assign geometry to appropriate finishing operation(s).Assign geometry to roughing operation(s).Define stock size (must match physical material to be milled).Verify location of geometry relative to file origin.Open template file (material appropriate).The FabLab has created material-specific MasterCAM template files to help alleviate common setup issues.Ī basic workflow for successful MasterCAM setup is as follows: Staff and TA's are not available to set up users' files for them. This page will enumerate the steps required to have an approvable MasterCAM files. CNC TA's are available during regular daily hours throughout the semester to answer questions, review submitted files, and run approved files on the mill. In order to use the large bed CNC routers at the GSD, students must submit a MasterCAM file to the online queue with geometry imported and operations assigned. Please use this page in conjunction with the MasterCAM 2020 Reference.
