Solidworks and Metal Shop tutorial by Jim Bredt 20240609

Introduction

This tutorial is a continuation of the earlier tutorial where a metal bracket was reverse-engineered in Solidworks.

Here we will show how to export the Solidworks data to the Torchmate CNC plasma cutter located in the Metal Shop at Artisans Asylum. After cutting the flat piece from steel sheet, it is bent into shape, welded, and finished by powder coating.
