ISF file setup parameters to follow:
At your initial consultation, the Fab Lab Technician will take you through the template and will advise how to set up your file according to the guidelines.
File Preparation:
Hint: Always ensure that you have the latest template file; we periodically make revisions and additions.
ISF Template for Submission
Model your stock in the Stock Layer
Change the ISF model layer to "3 Axis - Part "
Change the ISF model boundary line to "3 Axis - Containment Regions"
Draw any secondary pattern lines and change the layer to "3 Axis - Engraving"
ISF Support Template
Set up a new sheet as a normal 2D CNC cut. Model this in the same ISF Template.
Model a new stock: a 9mm MDF sheet.
Draw the profile cuts:
Outside profile: 100mm minimum distance to the ISF 3D PART boundary edge. Change the layer to: "2 Axis - Profile - External - Depth 9.00mm"
Inside profile: 30 the ISF 3D PART boundary edge. Change the layer to: "2 Axis - Profile - Internal - Depth 9.00mm"
Fixing hole locations (10mm diameter, 9mm depth): 1: Outside edge hole locations: 250 mm distance between each hole and 10mm distance to the stock edge line. 2: Inside edge hole locations: 200mm distance between each hole and 10mm distance from the "Inside profile". Change the layer for all holes to "2 Axis - Hole Pocketing - Diameter 10.00mm - Depth 9.00mm" layer.
