Hi All,

I am an electrochemist and we actually do research on how to use electricity to replace the use of toxic and expensive chemicals in the production of novel anticancer agents.

To do that, I need to cut quite a few carbon graphite electrodes. Until now, I have been doing that manually but it takes for ever!!!

So I just got a CNC machine SainSmart Genmitsu CNC router kit - 3018 Pro Ver (+ laser) and I have no clue how to use it...

I mean I could figure out how to cut something from a predefined model, but how do I make a model to be cut?

So far I have carbon graphite plates of 100x100mm and I would need to cut them into 50x8mm. The thickness of the plate is 2mm.

It sounds like something easy to do... but I don't know which software to use to generate a G code for that.


Again, sorry if this is a very stupid question... Help a chemist :)

Thanks a lot,

Kevin
