QuickCAM 2D will then generate the G-Code from these toolpaths and export them to the 2600 Pro’s control software, VR Milling. Generate toolpaths from the geometry of your heart shapes. The CAM ProcessĪfter you’ve completed your design, export each side as a 2D drawing and import each slide into Denford’s QuickCAM 2D Design software. If you’d like to take advantage of the design we already created, feel free to download the SolidWorks files we developed, which include three files: the top piece, the bottom piece and the assembly file that shows how to put both pieces together.ĭownload SolidWorks Heart Box Assembly files. (Hint: Do not insert text for the top of the box until you have exported your final drawing into the Denford QuickCAM 2D Design software.) Your design should consist of two pieces – the top and the bottom of the box.įeel free to design the shape at whatever size you desire, but be sure to create an assembly out of the pieces and design the mating surfaces in the context of the assembly to ensure a perfect fit. Denford QuickCAM 2D Design with VCarve softwareĮstimated project time: 2-4 hours from design to finish The Design Processĭesign your heart-shaped box using SolidWorks Education Edition design software.Denford MRC 40, Compact 1000 Pro, 6600/6600 Pro Router, or 2600 Pro Router (we used the Denford 2600 Pro Router).With Valentine’s Day only a couple weeks away, we figured we’d kick things off with a little heart-themed project suited for the occasion. Most importantly, it gives us a chance to flex our creative muscles and find new applications for the educational technologies we believe in.
The projects will vary in difficulty and will utilize a wide variety of the technologies and tools we have on hand. Welcome to the first monthly installment of Tuesday Tutorial! The first Tuesday of every month, we’ll bring you a new project idea that can easily be incorporated in your curriculum.
