Another great TON on Tuesday night with Gus Gissing demonstrating his TAG CNC Milling machine.

Gus showing what a CAD part looks like in MasterCam.

Simulating the toolpath before cutting the part on the milling machine.



Darin white decided to demonstrate that a part could be designed and cut using free software in less than 20 minutes. He used inkscape to design a part, exported it to .dxf and then used dxf2gcode to generate the gcode for the mill. A short time later his part was cut into a piece of foam! Kwartzlab rapid prototyping is becoming a reality.

Matt Bells shows his potentiometer controlled synthesizer circuit to the group.

Creating some very intersting sounds.
