How to create a tool geometry with Numroto Plus?
The first step in using Numroto Plus for tool grinding is to create a tool geometry. A tool geometry is a graphical representation of the shape and dimensions of your tool. You can create a tool geometry with the NUMROTO Draw module. Here is how you can do it:
Open Numroto Plus on your computer and click on "NUMROTO Draw" on the menu bar. You will see a screen with a 2D and a 3D view of your tool geometry.
On the left side of the screen, you will see a list of tool types that you can choose from. Select the tool type that matches your tool, such as drill, mill, reamer, etc.
On the right side of the screen, you will see a list of parameters that you can edit for your tool geometry, such as diameter, length, angle, radius, etc. Enter the values that correspond to your tool specifications.
As you edit the parameters, you will see your tool geometry change in real time on the 2D and 3D views. You can zoom in and out, rotate, and pan the views to see your tool geometry from different angles.
When you are satisfied with your tool geometry, you can save it by clicking on "File" and then on "Save As". You can name your tool geometry and choose a location to save it on your computer.
How to use the 2D and 3D simulation features?
One of the advantages of using Numroto Plus for tool grinding is that you can use the simulation features to visualize and verify your tool geometry before running it on a machine. The simulation features allow you to see how your tool geometry will look like after grinding and how it will perform on a workpiece. You can use the simulation features with the NUMROTO Draw module. Here is how you can do it:
After creating your tool geometry with NUMROTO Draw, click on "Simulation" on the menu bar. You will see a screen with a 2D and a 3D view of your tool geometry.
