Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Digitizing arm?

Graham,

Right now, Mach has 4 DRO's for encoders. Of course, Art could add another I'd think. He added the 4th rather quickly as I remember.

whole digitizing scheme. It's a dll plug-in( I think?). It stores all
the points in a file. I opened one with Bobcad and could look at the
surface in 3D. Never could get it to transfer to a skin, but I didn't
try long. I think this is more of a Rhino operation.

That's good, you could easily write a C, VB or whatever program to
process the data to produce a corrected point cloud taking the
kinematics into account.

Can Mach handle 5 encoders?
