CAM with Fusion360

Submitted by Matt Wellins on Thu, 03/31/2022 - 22:22

VCarve and OMAX are both platform-specific software with their own set of idiosyncrasies and payment packages. Fusion360 is ostensibly free and can design for most of the machines in the space - but there is a lack of in-depth training available. Why not see if an adept member can volunteer some time for a class?

Roland GS-24 Vinyl Cutter

Submitted by Corey Rice on Thu, 03/17/2022 - 20:52

The Roland GS-24 is a tried and true vinyl cutter. It appears as a printer to the computer, and the print drivers are free and easy to install on both Windows & Mac -- letting members print from their own computers as well (if desired). The software/driver tutorials are also well thought out, documented, and very helpful.

I have personally used this machine at many institutions, and seen it used at even more. It is the Fab Foundation's go-to vinyl cutter in America (at least for what I've seen).
