    Default Stock does not show up in madCAM simulator

    Hi,

    I can't get the stock to show up in the madCAM simulator.

    I've looked around and can't find anyone else having the same problem.

    Any ideas?

    Now I see the problem.

    My machine was defined as 4 axis (even though I was generating a 3 axis toolpath).

    I guess that madCAM doesn't support 4 axis stock visualization yet.

    That is correct. madCAM doesn't support stock visualization and material removal in 4 or 5 axis at this time.

    1- about stock in madcam simulator and see the result for carving as i cant do that so i am trying rhinocam it do it great but madcam is more comfartable , we need to see the result of the toolpath before we work it on the machine so Madcam should work on that .
    2- i need to know ( machine head table 5 axis ) how to put the distence from the retation center of the spindle motor till the end of the chuck , and how to let the madcam add the spindle spindle high that i always change to the distence of the rotation center of the spindle motor that i put before .

    thanks

    Material removal in 4 and 5 axis is coming.

    Hi Dan ,
    With MadCam I try to do the attached Jesus Status , on my machine ( head table machine ) , the roughing with 14 mm from back and front was good ( txt file 1 and 2 ) , when i try to do the ( txt file no 3 ) ( in Rhino madcam is under the name " 6mmfinish " tool path ) , the machine should turn the rotation device to zero and start work but it do not do it so i rotate the wood manually through Mach3 then put the file no 3 to work , the machine just start working the file no 3 then the spindle go through the body as a hole ( shown in the JPG file ).
    link to the rhino file and the g-code txt files is https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3...kY4VGl6VzE0QVE as file 1 is for top rouging 14mm , file 2 is roughing from bottom , file 3 is finish by 6mm spindle , file 4 and 5 are for 6mm working in a spicial aria . ( the problem till now is in file 3 ).

    thanks
    Jeries

    Hello.
    Today I uses Madcam first time. I use a 4-Axis CNC (X,Y,Z,A) and I also cant see the stock in simation mode on Madcam. Because the last post is from feb/2017 I will ask you...
    Is the stock also not simulated now?

    sorry about my english ;o)
