I am pretty positive this is not the forum to introduce myself but I felt that had to express my gratitude for the knowledge provided. I do think there should be a forum where members can intermingle and form friendships,but that is not my place to say, especially in my first post.
For a little back round, I own a shop that includes CNC laser cutters and a fully equipped work shop. Unfortunately I cannot elaborate too much as I have a company who literally stalks me on the internet and copies every product I put out there. This company does not know I am back in to 3d routing so I need to keep this all a secret. I have ran 3 and 5 axis milling machines in the past and always wanted to add the ability to carve in my own shop, The CW machine allows me to do just that, it cuts a special polymer material I use. again, I wish I could elaborate but I just cannot and I am very sorry for that, I feel that I should not draw knowledge from a forum unless I can give back, so forgive me if I seem to only ask and not help.
I use a 2d CAD type program to construct most of my products, I was having an awfully hard time getting the CW software to recognize that all I wanted was an outline around the drawing to just simply cut it out. So if there is any tricks I would be very appreciative to know them.
I have however mastered the ability to create any shape using the gray scale system to make it 3d, so if you have an outline that you need converted I would be happy to try an help.
Thanks for creating such an informative place, I feel I will be coming here often.
