I need this part machined soon, so how hard would it be to take the 3D AutoCAD file in MasterCAM to write the code? I've never used MasterCAM before, I've only opened the software at school to see if it can import dwg's.
If you are going to use MasterCAM to machine those off angled arcs, use the finishing "scallop" feature for the best results (my opinion). Use .054 x the sqr(tool radius) x sqr(desired finish / 125) to get your scallop width. Then use the filter feature to get the file size down.
