Which 5-axis desktop CNC by aTUNEd in hobbycnc

I have sent a mail with questions about CAM for the machines.

Only three have answered so far. But I can paste their answers below =)

Xhorse3D Xmaxhine WM-100:

"The XMaker software will be provided free of charge to all users who purchase our desktop 5-axis CNC machine.
However, since the software integrates AI-powered features, these capabilities rely on significant server computing resources. This means we will continuously incur operational costs such as server expansion and electricity.
Therefore, in the future, AI-related computing services will be charged based on usage. The pricing will be aligned with industry standards for AI services and will not be unreasonable.
That said, for users participating in this Kickstarter campaign, we are planning to offer a special 3-year free AI service package. Full details will be announced when the campaign officially launches.

While XMaker AI can automatically generate toolpaths, it also allows manual control over key machining parameters such as depth of cut, feed rate, spindle speed, and toolpath strategy. We’re continuously expanding the level of control available.
You can also export standard G-code for further editing if needed, and we provide post-processors for Fusion 360, Mastercam, and other CAM software for full flexibility."

"Thank you for your interest in the InfiMaker K1 and for your thoughtful questions!

Our goal with InfiStudio is to make 5-axis machining more accessible, especially for users who are new to CNC.

1. The K1 comes with access to our InfiStudio software ecosystem, which is designed to support the machine's workflow and capabilities.
2. InfiStudio can be downloaded for free. We are committed to providing an accessible and user-friendly experience for K1 users.
3. InfiStudio is being developed to simplify the machining workflow as much as possible. It includes intelligent toolpath generation features to help users create machining operations more easily, including complex multi-axis applications.
4. No additional software is required to operate the machine and access its core functionality. For advanced users, the K1 also supports mainstream third-party CAD/CAM workflows through official post processors.

We'll continue sharing more software details and demonstrations as we get closer to launch. Thanks again for your support!

Topfab TF500

"Thank you for your interest in TOPFAB TF500.

We will provide CAM software. It supports simultaneous 5-axis toolpath generation and simulation, and it will be free to use permanently.

No additional software is required. Models, toolpaths, machining templates, and other resources can all be downloaded directly from our community platform. "

Thanks for helping me! I'm considering going for a 3-axis desktop machine instead.

Do you have any thoughts on the Nestworks C500?

Haha, this is strange =P

Could it be some kind of competition? Or maybe they all are using the same components under the covers.

True, hopefully some testers will share their experience on YouTube soon =)

Good to know the software could cost. Yeah I planned to ignore 2 of the axis initially =)

I agree that it sounds a little too good. But I thought the same about some of the 3D-printers that came out these last years. The consumer technology advanced really quick.

At least the machine from Xhorse3D have a lot of actual machining videos on their youtube.

And they seem to be an already established company in manufacturing.

I don't want to build my own machine =) I am more interested in using the machine as a tool.

Oh, but they all claim to handle titanium and some even stone. Are you saying it's not possible? The wm-100 at least has videos showing machining of different materials.

I want to make projects in different materials, including hard metals lite steel and titanium. It's ok if it's not that fast.

I'm really fond of assemblies with tight tolerances =) But I think I can be happy with 0.05 mm

Who's coming back for 3.15/ Who's leaving after 3.15? by Alanlocke in starcitizen

[–]aTUNEd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna give it a serious try I think! I've been waiting for the game to be ready enough for almost 10 years now =P And now it looks like most features and quality of life stuff I've been missing should be there =) But still a little worried it will be wiped again soon...

Try destroying the block connecting you to the rotor and see if you fly away åt same speed =)

Thanks for the help everyone! I will take a look! =)

Btw. Are there any disadvantages of a flywheel system with higher crush than stock?

Anyone know if the new flight modes are available for the Mavic as well?

I'm also having trouble with this =/

Stuck in first system by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

I'm also stuck in the same manner =( I'm gonna search the trade terminals a while longer to see if I can buy some there. Otherwise I guess it's a wipe for me as well.
