Need help converting DXF to g-code

Post by superpro334a »

I have done very well using my new Langmuir table and am able to run already put together g-code files and have done large sheets cuts with great success however, converting DXF files to g-code is not working for me and I am not able to use many available files because I am not able to convert them properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also willing to pay for tutoring on this subject because I enjoy making all kinds of art designs and there are great files available to use.

I have bought fusion360 and sheetcam and just don't know all the steps to make it work. Please consider helping me. Thanks from MICHIGAN

Please post (or PM me) one or more of the dxf files you wish to convert and I will create a step-by-step instructional slide show for you. I will also send you a PM.
