Autodesk Inverter Pro 2012 - MasterCAM - CNC

[docdavies]

By some miracle, our school was able to obtain a CNC machine which is intended to be used in classroom situations and by our FIRST Robotics Team. I was involved in it's uncrating, set up, and about a 20 minute "Here's how it works" session from a technician that just really wanted to go home at 6:30 PM. We intend to rectify that.

I kept asking, "Can we go from Inventor Pro to a finished part". Answer..."yes of course you can, with a translator..." and what boiled down to "A lot of luck".

In the long run, no matter how many return trips and brow beating we do, I don't think he's going to be much help.

So, has anyone else out there gone through this? Can you point out some tutorials or related info?
