Title: Mach3 Digitizer
Post by: KentLN on December 09, 2018, 02:30:35 PM

Hi Everyone
I have a mold i would like to make a digital file of to reproduce the mold.
I would like to make a pointcloud like i understand the digitizing wizard should. ( I cant get it to work)
I would really like to set a vector boundry for the probing, is there a plugin/addon That can do That?
I have search on Google all day and every link goes to the built in digitizing wizard or external software for probing 2d/edgefinding etc.

Every solution is very welcome!!!!

My machine is a homebuilt CNC router with Mach3 and ESS + working probe for automatic tool measuring.

First time since building my router that i cant google my way to the answer.

Really Hope someone out there can help me.

Thanks for your time :)

When i type a number and hit enter the number returns to zero the very moment i hit enter... really frustrating.
But i would also like to contain the probing to a vector or shape that i can draw.
If its not possible i am sure i can work around the square probing area.
Is there a newer/different digitizer?
