## Using CNC Routers ### Background - [CNC Glossary](CNC%20Glossary.md) - [CAM using Inkscape](CAM%20using%20Inkscape.md) - [Shane's CNC Links](https://cnc.hobarthackerspace.org.au) - [Some hints and tips on CNC cutting bits](https://cncrouterbits.com.au/pages/technical-resources-downloads) ### CAD/CAM design (something here) ### Using G-code simulators to verify your design Every job should be tested with a simulator before running for real. This verifies that things will work as you plan and, in particular, stay within the bounds of your job. The ability to practice and refine CNC programming without the need for a physical machine saves time, reduces costs, and minimizes risks. #### Some free simulators are: - Online - [NC Viewer](https://ncviewer.com) - [Filipe Caixeta's "CNC Web Simulator"](https://filipecaixeta.github.io/cncwebsim/) - [Penta Simulator](https://sim.pentamachine.com) - Offlline (installed on your machine) - [CAMOtics](https://camotics.org) -- Runs on Windows, MacOS & Linux #### Commercial products - [G-Wizard Editor](https://www.cnccookbook.com/g-code-simulator-viewer-generator-gwizard/) -- Windows & MacOS - [CNC Simulator Pro](https://cncsimulator.com/) -- Windows only ## Our I2R A Series A23 CNC Router The machine has a 600x900mm bed and includes a manufacturer-supplied stand and a dust extractor. ### [Conditions of Use](CNC_Conditions_of_Use.md) ### [Rules for use](CNC_Usage.md) ### [Full details and documentation](I2R%20CNC%20Router.md)
