This tutorial outlines the basic steps to create a job in 2Build CAM software. For detailed instructions, refer to our video tutorial below and for more comprehensive information visit the 2Build page.
Steps to Create a Job
1. Import Models:
- Drag and drop models (e.g., partial frames, crowns, and bridges) into the software.
- Adjust the orientation of partial frames using the rotation widget.
2. Label Models (optional):
- Add labels (e.g., engraving, extrusion, or tags) using the Labeling Module.
- Export the labels to the main building area.
3. Position Models:
- Use the nesting feature for automatic placement or position models manually for a dens nesting result.
- Maintain a 4mm distance from the building platform and ensure proper spacing.
4. Generate Supports:
- Open the Support Editor, select rod or lattice structures, and choose a support template.
- Generate supports and export them to the building platform.
5. Apply Printing Strategy:
- Attach a printing strategy to models and supports (e.g., cobalt chrome templates).
6. Slice and Export G-Code:
- Start slicing to calculate the laser path.
- Generate and save the G-Code along with the project report (PDF).
