Tbh.. Most of your choices will be made by what vr system you choose.. What file types it accepts and what program can generate them.

Blender, rhino, 3d studio max, maya, etc.. There are thousands of suitable programs - Blender is free. Problem is - it's not always as easy to do the things you want. Even though it's portrayed as simple. . 3d modelling is easy, but it's a different inductry.. I'd start with blender as its...

Most 3d programs will do a thing called a uv wrap. But unless you've got a standard product you're going to use so you can get the unwrap correct, I'd leave it to specialist companies as it'll cost.. Do your clients want this? Will they PAY for it? If not.. It'll come out of your pocket

Lol.. Depends on their printer.. Best thing to do is give them a sample and trial it. Just a small off cut. Most home and office inkjet dry by absorption, so if the ink doesn't get absorbed - it'll just sit on the surface and wipe off.. A paper type substrate would be best.. Alternatively -...

Single flute bits tend to be best for aluminium and plastic - something with a nice Polish will just fly through. Alot also depends on speeds and feeds. The issues are often that you are not going fast enough. Imagine you have a 1hp plus router.. Its not going to struggle with cutting sign...

Easy enough to do.. Just print a white percentage.. Print a graduated test print and use the % that looks best. But much better to use the correct vinyl to start with.

Any bearing will work as it contacts the template, rather than the work - the size determines how much it's offset from the template. You can get plastic bearings to stop marks, but that's usually for chamfeing as it contacts the work instead of the template. As other people have said - you...

I agree with the OP. They are business owners.. Doesnt mean the actually run the business themselves. That said. The ONLY way to make it work is to have someone with experience who can price.. Who can run the shop, etc. But there comes the problem. If they are doing that.. THEY have a...

Another strange thing that might help. As you do installs - see if you have one of those wall stud/ac finder things floating around. Use ac mode and see what you hear when you turn the spindle on - try it in a few locations. I often use toners to find faults in wires and weird stuff happening

Hmmm.. Could be an earth loop. Chinese spindles often have "Questionable" wiring and can generate substantial interference. Definitely looks like interference, a ferite bead on the 4 wire spindle cable could help. A possible test if you have a multi meter is to see if you have a voltage on...

Make sure there's not an earth loop or it's not grounded. Try star earthing.. Everything going to one point rather than earthing through something else. Then old inverters were quite noisy electrically as components age.

Sounds like there's a buffer that's filling up. Usual causes of such errors are interference - do you have ferite beads on the cables of the new spindle? Its basically not being told things are moving. I've not used these for a while, might be worth thinking of upgrading the controller -...

Welcome.. Always nice to have new members

W11 often has problems with hardware of that age.. W10 is stable - is there any reason you NEED w11 on a production PC?

Lol.. China isn't cheap.. They produce to a price. If you want excellent products they'll do that.. If you want cheap products.. No problem.. They'll do that as well. Tormach for example - American company.. Chinese products. If a manufacturer uses a DMG to make a product.. Does it matter...
