My team has a Flashcut CNC mill. Is this compatible in anyway with MasterCAM or are they different companies so we wouldn't be able to use your file?

we could mill them or possibly use our mold injection, but i tihnk we are just going to make them out of 16-22 gauge sheetmetal...much much cheeper...maybe not as strong, but being metal it won't break, just bend if it gets bashed around.

I am not sure if it will work with your machine, but you need to have MasterCAM or a program that can convert MasterCAM files to be able to load it to your machine.


You can download the file off the CD white papers here

We just made the Tetra connectors from 1/8" HDPE sheet we had leftover from the top of the ramp of Stack Attack. Took one from the kit, traced it and cut it out using a band saw and some tin snips. They work great.

(I believe that the connectors you can get from Innovation First are metal for use with the goal tetrahedrons.)
