In my last post (https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=47672.new#new), I mentioned the Paper Tools software I’m working on, which uses a video camera, connects to Mach 4 and sees your marks and measurements to control your CNC.

Now here’s a video showing a new user interface, and step-by-step guide to getting started. I’ve been asked about how to install, how to mount a camera, and what kinds of everyday operations you can do like drills, holes, slots, pockets and patterns. These are useful when working with real-world materials that aren’t easy to model in CAD.

I would really love to help anyone who’s interested in using this software to get up and running, so feel free to download Paper Tools from: http://www.papertools.ai.

Thanks!

That's exciting news about your Paper Tools software! It sounds like a very innovative and user-friendly way to control a CNC machine using simple marks and measurements, especially for projects where CAD modeling might be cumbersome.
