Hi,
Bit of an intro before I start; currently I'm an engineer working in the semicon field. Out of personal interest I'm looking into WAAM-sort of printing to realize art. Education background is mainly theoretical but I have experience with CAD/CAM in solidworks and operating CNC milling machines (as well as some online Gcode programming). So the goal is basically combining a robot arm with a welding torch.
Apart from which license-version to choose for hobby (educational? pro?) I'm a bit lost with how RoboDK handles the tool. A 3D model of the tool is easy. But what about the actual action? This could be a spindle (RPM), torch (welding current, wire feed) and other things. How are setting these handled by RoboDK? Create the movements in space seems quite straightforward with the software and tutorial that are on the website. But how do you set 'machining'/'welding'?
Shopping list;
software for drawing (solidworks,fusion)
software for creating arm/toolpath (roboDK)
硬件movement (arm)
硬件printing (welding equipment)
Major parts missing?
