A CAD/CAM package is needed to design the drawing. This package will then export the toolpaths for SmartBench to draw with CNC Stylus.
In this tutorial will design our drawing in Vectric.
Vectric works by:
Defining a general job setup
Drawing out basic features in 2D
Assigning toolpaths to the drawn features
Exporting the toolpaths to a file
We will use 2 different pens, and will export a new file for each of the pens’ toolpaths. This will help us change tools, by allowing us to swap in the correct pen at the start of each job.
You are welcome to use other CAD/CAM packages to generate the files for drawing. You can use a number of different CAM software packages. Click here to learn more about other CAD/CAM packages which are compatible with SmartBench.
Yes! You can download the file made for this tutorial here:
Vectric project file for drawing a sing mount guide (this file is NOT for export to SmartBench. It is to be opened in Vectric. It can then be used to generate job files).
Job file for a sign mount guide - biro (this is a file which was exported and sent to SmartBench).
