Introducing Jenner, the latest free system update for Origin.
So with our free system updates, we're at letter J now, Jenner. We've come from A.
You've seen all of our existing customers
have been able to install these over wifi with just a single click for free.
And with each release, we improve performance,
we improve usability, and we add new features.
So we've done all of that here.
We'll draw your attention to a couple of key new features,
manual touch off and depth in coding.
So these change a lot of how robust Origin is
and how clearly you can define your projects
and make sure you don't cut too deep
and cut to exactly the right depth you desire every time.
Beyond that, there's actually a paid extension
that's now available to download.
Check out the website for more info on that.
It's called Auto Pass, but for this video,
we're going to look at the core free features and focus on them.
Here's a situation where manual touch off is going to be a huge win.
So we're pretending we've got say soft wood bass or something,
but in this case, we're simulating it with some foam.
This is crosslinked polyethylene.
And we have a very sharp cutter in here,
or an engraving cutter.
So this is going to plunge into my material
when it does an auto touch off.
So in order to trigger Origin to tilt back and detect when it touches the surface,
it's going to kind of have to mash into this soft material.
It failed to get a good reading there.
That's because it just slowly moved Origin.
It didn't go touch and instantaneously move.
Not only that, the surface of our material
has been up marred up pretty badly. like It's cut down into it.
Now, we have the option of taking Origin to a hard surface.
We don't have to actually touch off on the surface we're cutting.
We just need some tape and drop it on a hard surface.
We could do an auto mode touch off there or we could try manual touch off.
Manual touch off is a great option if you've got a delicate cutter.
So if you're doing, say, frets for a guitar or something like that,
you are going to have a very small diameter cutter
that would be very fragile.
So you probably don't want the entire mass of Origin pressing down on top of it.
So let's take a look at manual touch off.
It's telling us the options here.
It's much like when we do a griding operation.
We lower the bit with green, raise the bit with orange.
A tiny tap will move a tiny amount
and then it gradually accelerates as I hold it down.
So let's take a look at that.
And I'm just looking down here to get a feel for where I am.
As I move around,
I'm noticing just an ever so delicate scuff
of that top surface.
So not enough that won't rub off,
but now I'm confident that I'm making a tiny mark,
but not enough to actually damage it.
So, at that point, I can go Set Zero & Finish.
Origin will record that reading
and now all my cuts will be relative
to that accurate zero height.
So encoded depth fundamentals,
this is just hitting the instructions.
These will show up the first time you activate it
and it's just saying each path can have its depth encoded.
Your cut depth, which is the top left corner icon
will indicate whether there is no depth encoded
in the path you're hovering over,
if the cut depth is shallower than the depth you're encoded,
or you're cutting to the depth that is encoded,
or you are going to cut deeper than the encoded depth.
For more info, scan the QR and follow up on our website.
So what does this mean in practice?
Origin has the cut depth up here.
This hasn't changed.
This remains the depth the Origin will cut to.
So that remains at whatever you set it, 1.5 in this case,
and it will cut to that depth when you hit the cut button.
So that's a tool wide setting.
What we've added is the ability to encode depths,
and then the relationship between encoded depths
and the cut depth, we'll get into in a second.
So to get to encoded depths, we hit the Depth button.
And this element up here
is where you manipulate encoded depths.
So these are set per path.
So instead of being a tool wide setting,
which is the cut depth, this is a per path setting.
So if I move to a different path, you'll see that changes.
So now I'm highlighting the outside path.
And the key thing here is the little icon will tell us
if our cut depth is too deep for the encoded depth,
which this case it is, this one is encoded at 0.75.
And then, if I go to this path, it is encoded at 1.5
and I get a little tick mark here
telling me my cut depth matches the encoded depth.
So I can change them.
So if I go over here and go edit this, I can go 0.25.
And now, from this point on,
I'm going to get a warning telling me I can't cut this path
because it's encoded too shallow.
So you'll see it's encoded here at 0.25.
And then it comes into its own even further when I say,
"I want to cut at one-inch deep."
I'm setting my cut depth to one-inch.
I get an indicator that, that is shallower than 1.5-inches.
But if I come to this path that's encoded to 0.75,
I get a little warning saying,
"Hey, if you try to cut that at one-inch deep,
"you will damage your work piece.
"You'll cut deeper than the encoded depth."
So that's great.
And then, I don't have my spindle on, but if I was to say,
"I want to cut that,"
it's going to warn me and give me an exact info I need.
So it will tell me,
"You're trying to cut at one-inch deep.
"That exceeds the encoded depth, which is 0.75.
"Would you like to cut anyway?"
And I can continue, I can force it,
and just go cut and it will do exactly that.
I can cancel, revisit my settings.
Or if I'm working on, say you're working on a file
that's been encoded with thicker board in mind
or thinner board in mind
and the cut warnings are actually not helpful to you,
you can just hide them
and they will remain hidden until you cycle the power.
And at that point, this warning will display again
if you attempt to cut deeper than the encoded depth.
So you can set these in studio files coming out of Fusion
or directly on tool.
So we'll get into that with an application now showing you
how they work.
For this application, we're going to take this step tenon
and we're going to cut the mortises to accommodate that.
So we don't want to cut this pocket
to this depth by mistake,
so using encoded depth, we're going to set this to 0.5
and the full depth one to 1.05-inches deep.
And that way, when we go to cut,
we don't need to run the risk
of mistakenly cutting this pocket to this depth
and ruining our piece.
So here's an example of a file with no cut encoding.
It's approximately an inch thick.
I'm going to cut that same profiles we were looking at
into this piece of wood just as an example.
So you'll see here, I'm hovering over an un-encoded path.
Now, I'm going to set this deep one to, say, 1.05-inches.
So I'm just going to cut a little beyond it.
Now, if I set it done, I'd be setting my cut depth,
but I'm going to set it to my cut encoded depth.
Encoded depth there is that, and then Accept.
We can confirm this.
We get a little reminder,
"You're cutting less than the encoded depth,"
because we're cutting at 0.25.
So that's the full depth cut through the center.
So we hit Done.
You can see that, that's the sort of diamond shape.
And then this perimeter one,
we'll do that half the dimension.
Let's see here, we'll do it 0.5 on the dot
and we'll set that to the cut encoded depth.
We can do calculations here,
so all the standard stuff you would do with Origin,
but we're just going to leave it at 0.5., Done.
Now, none of this has set my cut depth of my actual tool,
and that's fine,
but we're still going to go through our passes
in quarter, half, three quarters.
Because we don't have Auto Pass enabled here,
we'll just do this
with the free software update version of Origin.
Now, I'm getting a little reminder
saying I can cut anywhere here
and I'm going to be shallower than the depth called out there.
Let's go ahead and do this.
I might change this to a pocket.
We're going to clear all this area out
and we're going to go down to the encoded depth of 0.5.
So I'm going to do that one pass at a time.
This is cutting down to half-inch depth
and I had confirmation on my screen
with the little white tick mark
that I was cutting to the encoded depth.
So now we're going to look at the diamond in the middle.
I'm going to cut that to just over one-inch.
But also, we're going to look at what happens
when I go to cut this again at a depth
that is deeper than it's encoded for.
So keep an eye on the screen.
It's going to warn me and say,
"Hey, that's encoded to half-inch.
"Are you sure you want to cut that?"
And I do not want to.
So you can see there we could confidently cut down
to the predetermined depths with depth encoding,
and we were protected from cutting too deep
into this little shoulder area here.
So that is limited to a half-inch cut there.
So taking advantage of Jenner and encoded depth,
we are confident now that our tool paths are going to be cut
to the appropriate depth.
And to people paying attention to the Extensions area,
you will notice
that screen now has three available extensions.
So, by default, the free system update will ship
with Box Joint Basic and Text Basic.
Those have enabled people
to be super effective using Origin.
They just take care of a lot of common, complex tasks
in an easy, efficient manner.
And then if you want to push things further,
there's Auto Pass.
So that's a paid extension that you can activate
by going to the website and checking out Auto Pass.
So it's targeted at deeper cuts, more complicated projects.
So if you want to encode all your depths
and then cut them
without having to contemplate each pass and roughing
and finishing offsets, you just say,
"Hey, I want to cut this whole thing
"to one-and-a-quarter-inches deep."
Auto Pass will take care of transitioning down
between all those roughing passes,
then performing a finishing pass, then retracting.
So you can think more about your design intent
and let Origin handle the details.
That means you'll get better outcomes, you'll be faster,
and the mental load of operating Origin
will be significantly reduced.
So if you see that as valuable, take a look at Auto Pass.
You can learn more here.
You buy it once on the website
and you will receive an activation code
that'll come back via email.
You then enter that activation code
and then it remains on your tool forever.
That's your copy of Auto Pass.
And from that point on,
your cutting experience will be vastly improved.
So yeah, we're proud to announce our first paid extension
and would encourage you to take a look at that.
But as always, the core free system update
has improved Origin throughout.
You get the advantage of manual touch off,
you get the advantage of depth encoding,
and that will protect you
from damaging your projects inadvertently.
Thanks for tuning in.
That's the wrap for the Jenner feature list.
We assure you, you'll put them to good use in your workshop.
