Re: Autodesk Inverter Pro 2012 - MasterCAM - CNC
I don't know what software or controller your machine uses but chances are it runs standard G-code. What I usually do is create a 2D .idw drawing in Inventor (in 1:1 scale of course) and then save that as a DXF. I then open the DXF in MasterCAM X and create the toolpaths, export the G-code, and load it into the machine. I suppose it's also possible to import a 3D model into MasterCAM but I don't do it that way for the simple stuff I do.
Do you have MasterCAM? If not, I'd recommend it. There are alternatives but in my opinion they don't compare.
