Getting Started with the CNC Router
Part of a wood project I'm working on. Using SketchUp and Aspire to prepare the CNC cutpath.
Cutting Topographical Maps on the CNC Router
This blog post is primarily for my own notes. It's a work in progress. As my project progresses and I encounter more challenges, I will write about them here.
Process
- Import map from Google Earth plugin on SketchUp
- Geo-location → Add location
- Select show terrain
- Export from sketchup as a .3ds
- Import on Rhino as “Component / 3D Model”
- Set size
- Set Toolpath
- Cut “3D Rough Toolpath” first
- Cut “3D Finishing Toolpath”
