About software 3DWin
Changes:
- SW Sprintlayout HPGL data is supported now
- registration is not required anymore
Warning: because my program is written by C++ under Visual Studio and is designed to Windows platform (Win200 and more), i have very urgently problem with windows multitasking (preemtive multitasking). There are some problems with timers and precision higher than 1ms (milisecond), so many your aplications doesnt work correctly (motor doesnt have pure continuous signal from LPT port). Please in setup menu choose higher priority for this program (high priority puts down some ruttine of windows) and try in setup program (not drawing with refresh, not use counter), if you have any wuestion, please contact me by e-mail. Thanks a lot.
Software 3DWin:
- user-friendly dialogs
- direct output to LPT port (not need other electronics)
- main source of files from CorelDraw - file HPGL (*plt)
- possibility direct cutting BMP (DPS, coin, medals etc.)
- many functions to cut surface and handtools
- functions for drill from file Excellon (OrCad etc.)
In this version i fix some problems what i found. Add is new function modeling from BMP file!
Software 3DWin progres on basis win32 application i. e. win98 as far as XP (Windows vista - I don't have well - tried). Software is intended to drive cnc milling machine about 3 (X, Y, Z or 4 axis (X, Y, Z and rotation axis), drive stepping motors with wattage modules either signals direction and STEP (bipolar drive for as far as 4 axis) or like switching ends coils (for 3 motors - unipolar). Software communicates with wattage modules over LPT port or over USB and inverter (USB is serial channel, where signals for every motor must "keep back" in among - memoirs).
Software is written like any more-fibrous i. e. making use maximum achievement your computer with maximum savings electronics near milling machine. Programme works except in 3D modelingi from screening model with BUFFER, to the whose sends processed instructions type "go to" l x,y z at speeds of xx, with acceleration ... So they achieved uninterrupted flow data among PC with 3Dwin and milling machine.
Software 3DWin is intended for interested person from toy environment i. e. for handyman, modeller etc . On this account fuels the several different sources data to cutting.
PModel for work on cnc milling cutter
- Drill holes
-
Drill holes is enough exacting manual operation, sw loads from set either size for DPS EXCELON data (odkaz na vikipedii) with desinence *.drl and simple data in set with desinence *.vrt, where's intended brace and openings with X and Y coordinate (depth given to brace adjusts centrally for every brace apart) demonstration set for simple drill holes:
**
PV1.5
X0012.35Y0012.35
X0005.00Y0005.00
X0010.25Y0010.25
PV12.5
X0020.00Y0020.00
X0020.00Y0040.00
K
**
here we've for instance 5 holes with 2 drills, units are in mm i. e. X0012.35 is 12.35mm on the right from zero
- 3Dmodelling
-
some glyptic and graving produce are in such a degree complicated, that simple digitizing tracks tools would already wasn't efficient. Instance:
set up parameters for engraving BMP
As a model here serves file *.bmp with gray scale, where's black ball at the bottom and white on top (in programme then will set depth in mm). Sw then governs milling machine like pen, line after line
- HPGL
-
Size HPGL is perhaps most widely used size for fence and areal milling machine. Easy draw anything in Corel software, you - export to the given to set and you can mill. This size includes possible 256 tools (strata), which you can upon yourself consider. In programme after unloaded giant. (pic3.jpg) choose sequence strata (tools) their rate, depth, turnings etc . and start ! nothing simple is no longer.
- G-code
-
size g- code allows in extenso 3D simulation - paring, but his preparation isn't light. First is necessary product draw in CAD system, after it by the help of CAM system generate trajectory of tools according to parameters paring (form milling machine, turnings, at speeds of etc.). After it programme only mechanical performs command from set, line after line. (some model contain and several hundeds of thousands of line)
program is still in progress, if you need add some function, please contact me...
What it is possible in sw 3DWin set?
In Sw 3DWin it is possible set much important thing for work, some however fast given like e.g . signals on LPT port - see
insturctions (please about legacy at him)
Accuracy:
is it distance (size) 1 step motor on working table i. e. if we've motor with 200 steps on speed, is connected right on the screw rise 3mm then is accuracy 3/200 = 0.015mm
Speed:
sets rate (succession) orders for stepper (if rate overruns, stepper begins lose steps i. e. falls synchronost among programme and stepping motor
(what about it entails ? from stepping motor there's no signal back to computer so that programme thinks, that him milling machine listening to - if thrust forth milling machine, programme will run on but will not nothing mill)
Acceleration:
stepper is able to spin neither would lost synchronization and to the higher speed but only method acceleration (accelerating) - here has however minimum power, but on fast feed that will do
Longitude axis:
programme of course patrols tool on desktop i. e. milling machine must be between end contact - maker (left) and its maximum longitude (on the right) otherwise order failure
Programme 3DWin is meanwhile free and is functional after registration.
