Scaling the geometry = no problem. Is there a method to scale the Gcode which is output from the nominal source geometry? Without having to modify the geometry and reload revised geometry. for example mold shrinkage factor, large aluminum part growth.

| Check your machine manual, many controls can scale an NC progam without altering any values, simply by adding a G code and a factor, and cancel it at the end of cycle ( or before toolchanging ) some higher end machines could scale each axis individually, ie X0.9545 Y0.5 Z1.0 Values of 1.0 or 100.0 are the considered 100% full scale. Check your manual for correct usage. |
