MeshCAM will attempt to pick sensible speeds and feeds for your project based on the machine and material you pick. On the left hand side of the screen, click on the Distance Around Geometry value.On the left hand side of the screen, click on the Area to Machine value.On the left hand side of the screen, click on the Tolerance value.On the left hand side of the screen, click on the Material value.The global settings part of the toolpath dialog defines a few items that affect every toolpath that is generated. MeshCAM has a number of machine configurations built-in to help calcualte starting values for speeds and feeds. In the top left side of the window, click Setup.MeshCAM needs to know what tool you plan on using to cut the geometry so it can properly calculate a toolpath. Click Ok to accept the default orientation.From the top menu, click Open and select the STL file that you downloaded above.If you choose to follow along, you can download the STL file or get it as a ZIP file 1. Feel free to print this for later use or follow along now. This is the first of a several tutorials to introduce you to MeshCAM.
