Awful Pretty... I'm just confused with the X & Y axis labeling and directions, backwards in my world. But I do like the workmanship, just too damn clean and shinny, lol

How are those labels made? They are eye catching.

Where do you get one of those? Looks functional and a lot safer than my laser. Wonder if you can set up multiple heads and get more productive. Have any idea what the life cycle is expected to be?

Here is three stl files saved, Two Different programs and different formats
a screen capture.
and the toolpath using a 3/8 inch ball endmill

I did not have the outside features to outline the seat base.
20" square blank so you can hold it down and cut the shape.

Using Art's machcloud program, I opened your cloud points file, created a triangle mesh using the delaunary set then saved it as a stl (make sure you add the stl extension)
I then used ArtCam to import the stl file and created the toolpath. Not sure how BOBCrap does it (I used it at one time, so I have a history with them, there on my blocked phone list now)
Used ArtCam to create a couple of stl files in different formats (Binary & Ascii) in case Bob cant read machclouds file. Let me know if you need an ".obj" file instead.

Or you can do it using VBA in excel

But you have to have macros enabled to use this feature.

Cool!!!
What is the button "Sprache andern" next to the Keypad Type? I found out it has to do with the language.

The X at the top does not work only the "close works"
Pretty cool beta
Thanks

I like it but guess if I am wondering if I have the right program. V0.01Beta

I don't find a Skins feature you mention.
