Hey guys .. is it time to team up with a provider to offer Concepts Unlimited with a plug-in generate tool paths ?

We're wanting more and more to be able to 'print stuff out' in 3D. This would have to be a natural progression for Concepts !!

Rhino is doing it as is SolidWorks

I'm sure most of that technology is fairly readily available

So, what do you say guys ? Time to get into physical outputs !?

Let's hear from other Concepts users who'd like to see Concepts add such a tool !!

Shure will love it! to control the toolpath paterns would be really great as it allways affects surface finish work!
Jol, could you give an example (Link) ?

I'm thinking of investing in Rhino to have this ability. I don't have a mill now but I would like to get one.

I agree this is a natural progression.

Mad-cam looks for Rhino looks interesting.

An association with a tool path company like MAYKA .. for example would be brilliant. Not even any need too integrate .. as with Rhino & SolidWorks, it appears to be only a business or aesthetic connect (ie. it doesn't actually make the process any easier)

would love cu / shark fx to team up with a tool path software company - especially if we could design in our favourite cad and translate to tool paths , and use surfaces to create limits , etc . i would spend money on this as an add on - there is a revolution coming as cnc becomes more affordable and small footprint , low power consumtion , machines make it feasible for desktop/ micro manufacturing to be an extension of any design studio .........
next phase is affordable and intuiative CAM that intergrates directly with CAD - make shark FX the leading mac happy suite to run

I am pleased to have this off my chest !!! hope to get a few more enlistees , i know jol has been working in this arena - its the next step :) :)
