aldepoalo Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hello everyone. I wanted to get some feedback CAD for machining. I know coming from the CAM side, that many things don't need to be drawn for machining purpose. Any thoughts on this and how you dumb down drawing to be used by CAM system. Thanks Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car5858 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Depends on the part. Many parts cut from flat stock just need the 2d top view. 2.5d takes a but more work, more detail (surface areas) are added, this is normaly used with router or mill. No experience with a lathe cnc setup. Then you have to determine what file system is used by the cam program. dxf for 2D stl for 2.5D Edited April 1, 2011 by Car5858 Added info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
