Help. Need to get gcode to run a shapeoko 3xxl from stl file models

[Anonymous]

Totally new to this kind of software.

I have models in the form of stl files I want to carve out of hardwood stock using a shapeoko 3 XXL.

How do I get F360 to do that?

Yes you can create tool paths for the stl file. But there are certain limitations because it is of mesh you cannot use 2d operations. There is an excellent video of Lars will guide you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GslfM22EDg4 Check this.

And if you are new to cam i would recommend to see the fusion CAM tutorials Fusion cam Tutorial

And in Youtube watch Lars Christensen Videos, Autodesk fusion360 CAM and  one more NYC CNC  this will help you to learn Cam.

Poke us for more help

Thanks,
