Re: File Type?

Awesome, great to hear you were able to model your minibot in Creo Elements/Pro. Please consider sharing it with PTC when it's complete so we can showcase it with other FIRST team's robots.

You should find out what software will be used to create the CNC machining program with. Most CNC programming applications can read native Creo Elements/Pro files, or you can create a standard export format like STEP using the Save A Copy command.

You can also create an NC model in your Student Edition of Creo Elements/Pro. You can setup the machining environment, create the required machining operations and export an NCL file which can be converted for use on any machine using a Post Processor.
