Tech Tuesday is a weekly blog that addresses some of the most common questions and concerns that I hear throughout the previous week from users of BobCAD’s CNC software. Both customers and future customers are more than welcome to leave a comment on what they would like to see covered for the following Tech Tuesday. If you missed the last Tech Tuesday, click here.
Today’s Tech Tuesday is going show you the many ways you can create surface models BobCAD-CAM’s CNC software.
What is Surface Modeling
Surface models are used to create sections of your overall 3D design. In fairness surface models are not really models at all. They are surfaces, which add detail to your design.


When do you use surfaces? When your design has features that can not be created with prismatic shapes, like cubes, cylinders.
When creating surfaces you’ll use wireframe sketches to drive the surface creating method. What kind of wire frame you’ll need and how it’s configured is based on the surface your trying to create.



Use the selection manager to select and define the geometry used to create the surface. This is important because the selection manager allows you to make changes to your selection without having to start over. Controlling things like the chain direction, order of selection and adding to or taking away from your selected geometry.

Hallo BobCAD-CAM this is Kurt Stoesser From Venezia MFG. co. I am currently Running version 21 at my facility and am wondering the cost to up-grade to version 34
Hello Kurt, the cost of the system is based on what you get. Go here to see which toolpaths come with what package. It’s best to call 877-262-2231 to speak with an account manager about product configuration and prices.
