SheetCam Tool Parameters

Post by jeffz1 » Tue Apr 09, 2019 6:10 pm

If I set up all of my parameters in sheetcam (feedrate, Pierce Height, ect) is that what I am cutting at or does the GoFab software change this to the GoFab preset settings for the thickness of material that I am cutting?

GoFab changes that based on the metal you pick. Any Z values or feedrate values in the gcode are scrubbed out before it goes to the table.

What about lead-ins or pierce points? Do those get taken out by gofab software too?

I get a no pierce points error in go fab app when using sheetcam posts too...

I have used it since the beginning, since it allows me to select the pierce points were i want.
just select the Generic Plasma With Optional scriber Post procesor.
