Software Workflow

Hi! Just placed my order and have 2 months to learn the software before it shows up. :smile:

Q. What is the best workflow for art pieces?

Based on this…
https://www.langmuirsystems.com/software

  1. Design in Adobe Illustrator (I have lots of experience in this program)
  2. Import vector graphic into Fusion 360 to generate G script

Then I’m at a loss…does the G script get imported into Fire Control and then run?

Thank you!

Welcome to The forum.

That’s a great start to your workflow.

Using Adobe illustrator to create a SVG.

Importing that SVG into fusion 360.

After moving that design through the CAD "design workspace "environment
In fusion 360.

You’ll run it through the CAM environment " manufacturing workspace" to create tool paths

Once these tool pods have been generated with the proper post processor installed into fusion you can then generate g code.

The G-Code will be a NC file.

This NC file is fire control can work with ( or tap file). loaded up and start cutting.

.

An alternative workflow.

Export your SVG from Adobe

Import that SVG into sheet cam.

Generate tool paths and sheet cam.

Then create g code.

Load that G-Code into fire control

You’re not at a loss at all that’s exactly what you want to be doing.

A lot of guys like using inkscape for design .mostly I think it being free is a big draw.

Myself I try to do everything in fusion 360. But I’m glutton for punishment.

Thank you Tin!
