VisualCAM® Helps KickStarter Startup!

VisualCAM® Helps KickStarter Startup!

TRANSFIXION DESIGNVisualCAM KickStarter is a product development and manufacturing company located in Matthews, NC who opened for business in January of 2016.  With the help of VisualCAM®, their new product was recently launched on KickStarter.com!

The “Anchor” is a sculpted metal device stand for iPad, Galaxy, Kindle, iPhone and more, manufactured with the help of the VisualCAM® MILL CNC machining software from MecSoft Corporation!

CEO and founder Shawn White sat down with us recently to share some insights into the product and the role that VisualCAM® played in it’s manufacturing.

VisualCAM® Helps KickStarter Startup!“When I first got my CNC machine I had zero machining experience and felt a little intimidated!   However, after getting started using VisualCAM® I found it was very easy to learn and use.   I use it to machine products and prototypes from both wood and metal on our CNCMasters® Barron XL Mill.”

The VisualCAM® MILL module was used to program and generate g-code files that Shawn sends to his CNC machine to cut the part.  The final Parallel Finishing cut material simulation is shown in Figure 2 on the left (shown below).  The actual part as it was taken off the CNC machine is shown on the right.  Notice the scallop texturing  that Shawn uses as a distinct product feature.  This is the result of the 3 Axis Parallel Finishing Stepover value used with a 3/8” Ball Endmill.  Other toolpath operations include 2 Axis Drilling, Profiling and Hole Pocketing.
