Description: Many of my customers and users of the website pose the same question many times: to understand the entire process so they can either get familiar with what is expected and the complexity involved, or to understand the process to become confident to purchase a CNC router. In this video, I demonstrate how to use CAMBAM to create the primitive geometry (the CAD design) and to apply the machining operations to the geometry (the CAM work). CAMBAM is typically used to just apply the machining operations to existing CAD work, but in this variant demonstration, I wanted to demonstrate the simplest and the most minimal tool chain to get from bare scratch design, the formation of the geometry, to cutting out the design on the CNC router. I upload to Instagram very frequently and add great informative content as well as customer test videos. Make sure to follow me on Instagram at: instagram.com/buildyourcnc_newbiehack What is used in this video: CAMBAM Software: buildyourcnc.com/item/CAM-SOFTWARE-cambam I use this CAM software for my purposes. I personally like the simple user interface and I am able to understand the parameters from years of experience, so I don't need CAM software that explains what the parameters mean. Mach3 CNC Control Software: buildyourcnc.com/item/control-SOFTWARE-mach3 This is the software I use with my CNC router. The greenBullv2 60 degree 4'x8' CNC Router: buildyourcnc.com/item/cnc-machine-greenbullv2-milling-laser This is CNC router that I use in my shop and is my favorite as it can also house a laser gantry and it is a great space saver. It takes up the same amount of space as a typical 4'x8' machine, but it is intended to be pushed up against a wall so only one side of the machine needs to be accessed.
