[QUOTE="biglou, post: 690785"] Yeah, we got us a real Frankenstein setup going here. We use OneCNC for writing the toolpath code, SolidWorks for the initial drawing, save as .iges, then import and save as .cad using OneCNC. Thing is, when we write the code, we have to save it as ".NC" then go back and rename the file extention ".CNC" as opposed to just saving as a .CNC. It has something to do with the different types of machine language or something. I'm pretty green with all of this. And our mill, :silly: holy crap what a contraption. It's just hacked together feed motors, PC unit, etc. although it is pretty accurate. We do the piece work like you said, too. I have a perfect example that I'll try to get pics of tomorrow. A one-piece cast aluminum seat and back that we had to prototype in two pieces, with the seat part being a two-stage mill process due to the Y travel. I'll take a jpeg shot of the SolidWorks file to show the drawing, then post some real world photos of the parts being machined, since it is a pretty darn interesting process. Too bad I work for in a mundane industry. Too bad we don't build bombs or jets or dirtbikes or race cars or something really cool! And yeah, I had me some daydreams about makin' moto parts on our new stereolith machine! :laugh: [/QUOTE]
