Settings: Cnc and Foam sizes panel

You can set here dimensions of the Cnc machine and Foam Block, and its placement on the cutting table.

CNC size frame:

You must specify here the X and Y axes length, as the max run the machine can do.
The carriage distance is the extact distance from the points where the hot wire is fixed, with the Left/Right carriages at the same point (minimal distance).

devSim Cnc Foam can read this values also from special GCode parameters. This is the default and suggested setting, as devFoam, devFoam Pro, devFus Foam and devWing Foam automatically set these parameter to valid values.

The sintax of the axis length parameter is:
;param, machineSizeX=800.0
;param, machineSizeY=400.0

The sintax of the carriage distance parameter is:
;param, towerDistance=500.0

Foam block size frame:

You must specify here the 3 dimensions of the Foam block.

devSim Cnc Foam can read this values also from special GCode parameters. This is the default and suggested setting, as devFoam, devFoam Pro, devFus Foam and devWing Foam automatically set these parameter to valid values.

The sintax of the  parameter is:
;param, materialSize=400.0;350.0;200.0
where the order of the values is X, Y, along carriage distance

Foam block placement frame:

You must specify here the 3 offset of the Foam block placement on the cutting table.
Pressing Center button the Offset from Left carriage value will be recomputed to place the Foam block in the middle.

devSim Cnc Foam can read this values also from special GCode parameters. This is the default and suggested setting, as devFoam, devFoam Pro, devFus Foam and devWing Foam automatically set these parameter to valid values.

The sintax of the  parameter is:
;param, materialOffset=1.0;1.0
where the order of the values is X, Y and
;param, towerOffsetL=50.0
;param, towerOffsetR=50.0

Note:
You can force devSim Cnc Foam to ignore all the GCode parameters included in this panel, by selecting the Ignore all these parameters if specified in the GCode. The next time you load a GCode file, its parameters will be ignored.
If that option is not selected, only the current values will be replaced by the new ones.
