Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted April 24, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 What do you use for the illustrations? I've been messing around with Inventor Fusion, but it's not very robust. I've been thinking of picking up Solidworks as it also has a plugin for Mastercam.

It has a nice workflow and being able to add your choice of CAM software into that workflow is great. I'd be interested to try Mastercam, but haven't yet.

Premium Members Alan Rencher Posted April 25, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 The shop my Dad works at uses Mastercam. He's been showing how to use it, but using the plugin for Solidworks would be nice because i could just send him the files for the CNC machines.

Andrew Stone Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Very good idea. i would suggest an extended area beneath the mini SDI in/out points with a HDMI cable Clamp to protect the very fragile connections. Agreed on protecting the mini SDI connectors. I think more than a clamp is necessary. A full shield is required in my view. Those connectors are soldered right onto the IC board inside with no collar attaching them to the metal casing. A small glance off a door frame and goodbye Hyperdeck Shuttle.
