Hello to all,
I am a beginner in regard to this technology and I need your help for some tips on how to get started .
I have a cnc milling cutter programmable language iso ( g -code) .
I create shapes on the wood, but simply in 2d .
For example, ovals , rectangles, various irregular shapes with lunge z of about 5-6 mm .
My problem is that I often forms huge , kind of 1-2 meters and manually recreate it becomes a waste of time incredible.
My goal is to scan these objects or drawings, putting it on the work surface of my cnc milling cutter , get the drawing and convert it to ISO G -CODE .
To do this, I would have thought to use the method of david, mounting the camera and the laser, on the head of cnc, creating a program in iso that makes move around in a motorized along the x and y axes where i put my form to scan.
As I thought about laser use an inexpensive red ( the cheapest kind of shop of david )
It's possible? And above is correct as a system ?
My questions are :
- What webcam do you recommend to use?
- The laser is good or is economically better one with adjustable focus ?
- How can I calibrate the webcam so that gives me the correct distances ? Using a calibration panel PLANE instead of creating the angle for the 3d ?
Thank you all for the help
