How to create CNC plans on Illustrator?

Former Member
Former Member over 14 years ago

In one of the last episodes we got a glimpse of Ben creating plans in Illustrator.  I'm building a custom pinball cabinet and would like to have parts cut via a CNC machine.  I have no experience in creating my plans digitally, only hand drawn.  I've been searching for tutorials on creating plans in Illustrator, but Ihave not come across anything. 

 

Would anyone here happen to have a tutorial or anything on creating technical & precise plans in Illustrator?

 

Perhaps, in one episode we could get a more detailed look on how ben actually creates his CNC plans.

 

Thanks!

    I cam across this thread trying to use your script/ plugin thing for making my laser engraving/burnings. I'm really familiar with illustrator but not making my own scripts. I'm curious what it would take to request an option where the gcode can change intensity. I'm looking to use your code to make gradients and what not.  I was trying to use one on inkscape but I can't get it to work properly. I'm not sure whats going on with it exactly but the image I convert using the inkscape code is ghosting.

     

    I hope to hear from you on this.

    Thanks
