While weĪlways do our best to provide the most accurate schedule possible, unforeseen circumstances When placing your order you will be provided with an estimated shipping window. Loading and running your first G code program on MR-1 in CutControl Programming milling toolpaths in Fusion 360 Selecting a suitable CAD/CAM package (and why we prefer and support Autodesk Fusion 360)ĭrawing parts in Fusion 360 for CNC milling Suite of tutorial and educational videos that cover the following topics: Is that the skills are directly applicable to operating a full sized CNC milling machine.īefore machines begin shipping to customers in August, we will be releasing a comprehensive The vast majority of our customers have zero experience with CNC machining, and that’s ok!Īs long as you are eager and willing to learn, our video tutorials will provide you withĪll of the knowledge that's required to get started.The best part about learning on MR-1 That’s willing to put in the time can learn how to operate MR-1 proficiently.
Even better, it is free to download and use for educational and hobby purposes.We think MR-1 is the best choice for CNC machining education. The software we are highlighting today is Autodesk Fusion 360 for use with your CNC, a free Integrated CAD and CAM package, which conveniently lets you design your project and generate the gcode all in one place. Running G-Code: Taking the exported code from the last step, you run it either by your offline controller, or by CNC controller software on your computer, such as Candle.Generating Toolpaths: This is done by CAM (Computer Aided Machining) software, which takes the design you created and, via toolpaths, allows you to carve your project from a larger piece of "Stock" material, and export these toolpaths in a form that your CNC can understand, called "G-Code".Designing a Project: This is done primarily through CAD (Computer Aided Design) or 2D vector based software such as Adobe Illustrator, Aspire or InkScape.
In response to the needs of the community, this guide was made as part of a response to one of the most frequently asked questions by new CNC users: What software do I use, and where do I get it?Īs an open source platform running GRBL, our CNC's can be used by a vast variety of different programs in combination in the following workflow:
