Hi guys, Im totally new to this. A total newbie. Just learned how to use Sketchup 2 months back and now SketchUcam. Got myself a chinese cnc machine. Now trying to figure out how to create a toolpath for my sketch with sketchucam. The end result should look like the file I attached. Can someone shed me some lights or giving me some pointers? Just cant seem to know where to look It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a million.

 

The pocket you drew is a 3d pocket, because of the curved walls, and need a different program. While it's possible to make it in SketchUcam, using the 3d option. it will need some practice and experimentation.

 

Is there any tutorial for this? Or any pointer how to do so?

 

Thanks for the reply Tigerplot and Swarfer. I just dont know whats the "key word" to search. But after some searching, I came across this "Incremental Stepover". I started with Sketchup and its easier as my starting point. Theres too many keywords that I do not understand and probably what I wanted to do is way beyond beginner level lol and Im only a beginner. I have already installed Fusion360, just I havent really start to play around with it yet. Kinda still looking which software suit me best. Im comfortable with Sketchup and Sketchucam tho.

So, should I look into this incremental stepover? M I going in the right direction?
