How to Build a Machine in BobCAD-CAM: Step-by-Step Simulation Setup Tutorial (Video Tutorial)

This webinar shows how to build a custom machine for simulation using BobCAD-CAM. Whether you’re working with a standard 3-axis setup or adding a rotary axis for 4-axis work, the session takes you through each step in real time.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Create basic toolpaths and run a simple simulation
  • Set up and adjust stock, fixtures and machine components
  • Define axis limits to avoid overtravel in simulation and G-code
  • Build your own machine using STL files
  • Use the built-in tutorial and help file to guide your machine setup

The video also explains how to fix common issues, such as how to improve simulation performance using graphics card settings.

Whether you’re exploring simulation for the first time or looking to fine-tune your setup, this walkthrough gives you the knowledge to get your machine running inside BobCAD.
