1) A 4′x8′ of MDF you can pick for about $35
2) A 3D photo of a cool pattern can be purchased of $0-50 3) A textured wall panel sells for $5-$15 a square foot You could be making anywhere from $75-$395 machining these simple to make textured wall panels. Step 1 Draw a 24″ x 24″ Rectangle Step 2 Create / Modify Stock > 24″ x 24″ Step 3 Emboss texture> from image Step 4 Re calculate Step 5 Machine it Step 6 Deliver to customer and get paid : ) How to Video Link:>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> http://screencast.com/t/UHFZz8Il6J8 |

with machining time and Router bit cost per square foot, what would a hourly profit be...

|

So you tooling might cost $35-$75
Shop Rate per hour $40-$125 Run Time for the Job 25 min - 1:30 |

BobCAD CAM V24 Nesting Software
BobCAD CAM V24 Nesting Software:
Standards * Multiple part Import options * True Shape nesting * Support for Dados * Global rotation settings for higher efficiency control * Automatic drill hole nesting * Automatic inside and outside profile nesting * Use or Create multiple sheets of different sizes for the same job * Part-in-Part nesting – smaller parts inside larger part openings * Simple Job Setup strategies for tools, stock, parts as well as your lead-in and out operations for machining through one easy to use wizard * Automatic radius and line lead-in and out for toolpath * Set Part Priorities for nesting * Tabbing * Track parts and material efficiency as well as left-over parts and material * Create stock margins and part-to-part separation * Cutting Simulation * Create and save tools and stock * Layer support in Version 25 BobCAD-CAM software for easy control in machining * Determine Cutting Patterns – Parallel or Zig Zag Basic Nesting Sample: Learn how to setup a single part for nesting with holes a dado and tabs. http://youtu.be/yxJMmnqJOXw Key points: Using Shift Click for manual tab locations Using Contour to set the start position of profile cutting. Changing tool patterns to eliminate center drill from drilling feature Using nesting files as a template for future nest. We are offering a special MechMate promotion to add the nesting to your software. Please call me at 866-408-3226 X147 or PM me for more details. If there are any additional questions about the nesting software please feel free to ask. |

I am almost afraid to post.... So let's see what happens...
Hello Everyone! Here are 3 videos to help you better understand key concepts of using BobCAD CAM to program your plasma machine. This video goes over the CAD side of the software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgvJvD4XZ5A This video goes over the CAM side of the software: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-VNa...&feature=share This video goes over tool path patterns to create an array: http://youtu.be/S_G3msgYVRU If there are any questions please let me know. |

Bob,
You are always welcome here....even if some of the folks are a little biased! Keep up the good work. Best, Sean |

V27 Relase
You asked, we listened! For our biggest release yet BobCAD-CAM V27 features many new enhancements and improvements that our customers requested as well as other useful tools we have been developing.
In this video I show you how the new line at angle work when you need a tangent intersection. There are many times when re drawing a part from print, the print doesn't give you all the information needed to create the drawing. Like when you have a tangle line to an arc with an unknown end point. This new feature allows you to draw an angle line tangent to an Arc! http://youtu.be/zKFZGm-GIms As a BobCAD users I am sure you have come to appreciate the CAM tree and how it makes quick work of storing and changing your part programming. Now that we have a CAD History Tree in V27 we offer the same flexibility for your designs. You can create solids and make changes quickly and easily. Watch this video to learn more about our new CAD features! http://youtu.be/9wDdg5b9oxo When working with wire frame drawings you may need to trim shapes into or out of each other. Because of this we have added 2D Booleans that use the same work flow as 3D Solid Booleans. The only different in the work flow is you have to rt click ok ( or space bar) after you select the first group of shapes. Again other useful tool for making quick work of creating wire frame profiles. http://youtu.be/QvAmGUfl0Uc In this video I walk through a sample 3D part. I use a sweep surface based on wire frame, and planar surface based on surface edges. Working with surface edges for design in a new feature in the V27. Once we model the part I lay down a roughing and Z level finish tool path. In the V27 Mill Pro we've added a Zig Zag option allowing the tool to cut back and forth following a profile, almost like a flow line. Once simulated, we go back to the model make some changes and update the tool path. Take a look! http://youtu.be/crs9WOBT2NQ In the BobCAD CAM V27 we've added many new tools for our Mill Professional users. Most of which are aimed to reduce geometry creation to limit tool path. Angle ranges, linking updates, leadin -out updates operational stock are just some of the new features. What this video to learn more. http://youtu.be/DKgsSGWA2gM |
