Aspire for alphacam help please

[Leadinged]

I have designed this door panel in my new aspire for alphacam program. It will be machined on 1" mdf. I can successfully export it through the AC interface button in the modeling tab in aspire and I get the result shown on the bottom picture.


My problem is that I can't seem to do anything with it from there. I have successfully designed and machined other door panels using alphacam so I at least aware of the basics


What is the next step once the model is in alphacam. ? Do I need to convert anything? Add geometry? I have searched for these answers but there seems to be a shortage of tutorials for what to do after export from aspire to alphacam.


Sincerely


Jay Andrews

Hi Jay. The model is for using with 3D surface machining strategies.If you want to do anything else you will need to create geometries to apply tool paths to.

Thank you. I actually got help from ken at alphacam support. Problem was when I chose a tool it was defaulting to my s2m center tools and once we figured that out and switched it to use only alphacam generated tools everything started working properly

I'm not sure how Cabinet Vision could effect your tool selection...? but anyway glad you got it sorted. I was going to say that if you have just bought it you are entitled to technical support. Have fun
