New to using a probe please need help
« on: September 09, 2014, 02:07:14 PM »
Hello everyone,

I just set up a probe I recently purchased, seems like everything is working fine I'm just confused after the probe is finished what type of file is this saved in, I tried loading it into TurboCAD with no results. Do I need some kind of program to turn this into a gcode. I tried loading it into aspire no luck there either any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

what is created is a point cloud, you need to load it into something like rhinoceros CAM ( http://www.rhino3d.com/download ) to convert the points into a solid model.
