G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Trispokedovetiles: CNC code to cut tiles
« on: December 21, 2016, 08:02:48 AM »
I'm developing Computer Aided Design (CAD) / Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software for CNC plasma, laser, waterjet, router etc cutting of tiles shaped like this.

Someone else, but not using my CNC code, cut these first examples out

My software is available for testing, (please see post #17 for links).

One of the applications I have in mind would be to manufacture armour tiles, so strong sheet materials that the tiles might be cut out of could be tough metals, such as steel or titanium, or ballistic ceramics, such as silicon carbide.
I've no manufacturing facilities of my own, so I've been testing my software on my home PC and using CNC simulation software.

So I would welcome anyone who has a CNC cutting machine experimenting to test my CNC code out (at your own risk and cost) and let me know how you get on ...
