Thank you, there's a but load of pages full of plates I've made for peeps here on the forum. But if you'd rather not scan thru 48 pages you can visit the Warmoth Flickr group. I have posted pics of all the plates there... :eek:ccasion14:

So, the way this works is that, you make a cad drawing, and use what kind of machine to print it out on a plank plate.

It's that I can do exactly the same thing, but on Google sketchup, and i know there should some kind freeware that can convert it to cad. I could come up with designs for ya! :icon_thumright:

The machine doesn't print it out, it machines it out. I use a Hurco VM2 machining center. A bit of onfo for ya, "cad" is really a generic word. It stands for compuiter aided design, so in theory any type of design you do on a computer program is a "cad" drawing. There probably is some type of freeware for converting drawings from google sketch, it just depends on what type of file format google sketch uses. Cad/cam programs usually use .DXF. .IGES, .DWG file extensions, just to name a few. But it's really not necessary to worry about I can convert it my self to what type of file I need it in..

Hey Wanna's, was doing some quick reading about goolge sketchup, and it exports files in  .DXF or .DWG. So if you design something save it as a .DXF and then I can directly import the file into my program. No need for you to convert sketchup will do it for you...
