Tormach is an awesome company. If you haven't already, make sure to let them know how excited you are about the mill. They're very FIRST aware and would, I'm sure, love to know how their machines are helping students get into STEM fields.

This machine is so simple and capable, Tormach really did an awesome job with it. We'll be sure to let them know what it's being used for!

We create all of our tool paths and other programs with Vectric Cut2D, which just allows you to convert .dxf to g-code, then Tormach has it's own software that came with the machine that reads the g-code. We will soon be upgrading to Cut3D. I highly recommend it over any other program i've used. After using it we're actually thinking about running the machines we have at work using this program.

It is sad when the robots do not perform as we designed them. It is sadder still, when they perform well, but they are not victorious. However, it is most saddening when they win at a competition, and competitors are unwilling to acknowledge the teamwork and good fortune of the alliance. - Bill Moore [more]
