RE: Sketchup CNC
I'm in the same problem, i worked since few weeks in the design office of my company (be there since months as a woodworker, but my self-knowledge in 3D helped me to level up) and they use to work before with rhino and alphacam, now they are on topsolid, a software i personnaly hate with the power of 1000 suns.
We do furnitures to make interior fitting for professional vehicle (plumber, electricity, cleaning, etc...) with 15mm plywood.
Nothing very complicated, everything can be done in minutes in sketchup, then with the help of the bool tool plugin you can cut the back of the furniture to fit to the side of the vehicle.
Since TopSolid is in the process, we never have so much delay, this software is a pain in the ass, nothing works, or it works on his manner, or it randomly work, there is everytime a problem somewhere that takes minutes to resolve for an experienced employe, from the modeling to the cnc part.We use 2 morbidelli cnc, SCM. I actually search very hardly (i didn't sleep since 2 days ) to find how to put sketchup in the workflow and eliminate TS as fast as possible.
But it has to achieve this three needs :
- quick to model and to modify (sketchup and dynamic made it)
- "normally" easy to export for cnc (it has to be as difficult as professionnal software, not much)
- we need relation between the nesting and the layout to make the mounting scheme with numbered parts
There is so much talks about this and sketchup, the community is so big that it becomes difficult to know where to search ! As far as i search, i saw nobody with that kind of needs
Do you have an idea, oh great sketchUcation community ?
ps : sorry for my english
