Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Digitizer

Thanks Peter,

Very useful information. You can email pix to me or probably others on
the list, we can upload them to the list files if you are unsuccessful.

Good ideas for sampling. If I have two opposite corners of a cube, I
can calculate a scanning volume. I was also thinking of just generating
a Gcode program to scan the object the way I want, and then "running"
that program with the controller code. After gaining experience in
scanning an object this way, I think I can then generate code to "scan
by volume" (using parms).
