NEXT ZOOM MEETING - All welcome - The next Zoom meeting is on Wednesday 27th September 2023 at 8pm UK time (20:00 BST - 19:00 UTC). How to take part: click here.
TEMPLOT 3D PLUG TRACK - To get up to speed with this experimental project click here.
-
The Plug Track functions are experimental and still being developed. Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.
For an updated overview of this project see this topic. For some practical modelling aspects of using Plug Track see Building 3D Track.
The assumption is that you have your own machines on which to experiment, or helpful friends with machines. Please do not send Templot files to commercial laser cutting or 3D printing firms while this project is still experimental, because the results are unpredictable and possibly wasteful.
Some pages of this and other topics include contributions from members who are creating and posting their own CAD designs for 3D printing and laser-cutting. Do not confuse them with Templot's own exported CAD files. All files derived from Templot are © Martin Wynne. -
