Download the free Fusion 360 for Mac.
Watch the videos from langmuirs website on Fusion navigation. Draw a circle …
Cut it out… We are here to guide you in your quest. If you can not download any programs, it sounds like a computer issue. I’m not a Mac guy, so I would not be able to help you there.
Respectfully, that’s like buying a bike and blaming the company because you don’t know how to ride it. There’s plenty of info on Langmuirs website that describes the workflow. All this information was available prior to your purchase.
I’ll email you a file you can cut if you provide your material thickness, table information, and plasma cutter information.
I use a Mac for everything. I used to dual boot into windows to run sheetcam, now I use parallels. I design everything is a vector program for Mac, Affinity Designer. Inkscape is free and will also work.
I’ve read some of your other posts just now. Have you got the table put together correctly ? Have you fixed the slipping couplers? All in all its pretty easy. Just read the and watch all the Langmuir videos until you can draw and cut one of your own projects.
Draw a circle in FUSION, extrude it, go to Manufacturing.
Set up coordinate, pick machine, choose the circle, post process it.
And cut it out. No plasma spider, no sheetcam. No other variables.
Lets see if the table even works.
You’re not doing something right with creating your jet cutting operation in Sheetcam. I’m not near my computer right now, or I would post a video of how to do it correctly.
Thanks for the help ! I’ll have a cookie and calm down… lol!
Here’s my setup
1.Mac with parallels ( for windows)
2.Sheetcam
3. Fire control
Got a “ bee” pic but when loaded to fireshare
Looked nothing like a bee and did a dry run with table plasma off
Seem to work
Ok…I’ll download 360 and try your advice
Now, I do own a SheetCam scrip. I don’t cut out fancy signs. But I have cut 1000’s of parts on this table and have never used it one time. Just my two cent but, learn fusion 360 and start making things.
I am aware that SheetCam is excellent for intricate signs.
here is what I tried to download for an experiment. However fire share is down…I did cut half of a picture file just to get my plasma speed right in which i did. got the speed at 30 and pierce rate at 50
