Questions

• does it help to generate a drawing per sheet? OR what does CNCwerk do more except for making the code?
• make a bom per sheet?
• connection piece?
• tool list (or at least a drill list)
• how small a part can be:
  • weight?
  • area?
  • thickness?
  • minimum width for a milled through strip for not deforming? (which width of material can be milled safely, without errors, vibrations and breaks (we have some pieces with narrow zones less than 12-20mm width)
  • drill holes > mark with dot only?
  • what info the machine operator has? (sheet size, etc.)

Tools

• router bits
  • straight
    • Ø10
    • Ø20
  • V
    • 45°
    • 60° > markings
• drills
  • Ø3.0 > smallest
  • Ø5.0

Drafting

• Layers
  • for each tool
  • for each router bits per contour (outside / inside / inset)
• Contours
  • closed polylines
  • no curves
  • no splines
• Drilling holes
  • layer per diameter per depth
  • mark with 'dot' (AutoCAD)
• Narrow strips > milled full depth minus 1mm (so strips in an 18mm sheet will be milled 17mm deep and will remain in the sheet)

Labels

• • file format excel
  • each info line in a column
  • at least showing part ID and sheet ID (so 2 columns)
  • if possible show material ID (3 columns)
