Re: Can Inventor convert to gcode

Inventor files will open in MasterCAM, then create your toolpaths and setup. Then select the postprocessor for the CNC Mill you're using, then it will generate G-Code.

To purchase MasterCAM, call the educational reseller in your area (look at the masterCam website for this). One license (educational) retails for $1500. Last year we bought two licenses for $2000 with a special grant. So the educational reseller can negotiate the pricing, they may also send you a 6 month trial package for free. We did that a few years back.
