Hi friends! i just came cross this forum and saw how helpful this community is.
I would like to ask for your help . Can anyone help me with G codes for Bentley logo , i will be doing it on an aluminum sheet ( dimension 400mm x 350mm , 1mm depth )
i have attached the logo and example of the final cut out/ the result of the cut
If anyone can help me that will be so great !! Thank oyu

If i put PDF file can someone help with the g codes?

I am not sure if this helps you or not …
For a 2D part, starting out with a logo in .jpg form I have converted it to a .dxf then created the Gcode for an engraving toolpath of the outline of the image and attached the relevant files.
Creation of a 3D (2.5D) part requires quite a lot more work - you either find (on the net) or create a depth map image of your logo then generate a 3D toolpath from that image.

The G codes in my book look little different they are like ( G90 , G01, G12 etc)
I tried to change the autocad drawing into dxf and then use cambam to get gcodes but it didn't work for me :/ , i dont know why
I attached them just in case someone will be able to help me with it
-

and the dxf said its too big to attach :/ and when i try to open it on cambam it wont work .
-
Zip then attach your .dxf (use a unique file name).

Your .dxf file appears to be bad (corrupt) which is the reason you cannot open it in CamBam.

i did it while using the Autocad drawing that i made
is there away to fix it ?
-
See if you can open your .dxf in AutoCad then save it as a different version .dxf

tothemaking,
I would suggest you go to the Autodesk site and download the drawing viewer which ill provide for converting
from different versions of AutoCAD to earlier versions. Also save the drawing as version 12 dxf for use by other programs such as Cambam.
Also be carefull how you create the drawing since you need to allow for the size tool you will be using. I use arc's as that will minimize the size of the drawing and not have a zillion points to deal with.
