    Anyone else using RhinoCAM for g-code generation?

    Anyone using it successfully?

    What is the best post processor to use? I see Mach1 and 2 listed and a boatload of others, but no EMC.

    Another thread mentioned MaxNC, but I have no idea why the picked that one.

    I have a good rhinocam post processor for mach. No dice on EMC, though.
    pm me with email address, and I will send you the post processor I am using.

    Been using it for 5 years, with no problems.

    I have had success using HeeksCNC to read models exported out of Rhino (as Solidworks IGS files). Once the models are read, I am able to apply machining instructions, save the nc file. ENC has had no trouble executing the resulting file.

    The weak link is my skill with HeeksCNC, and the fact that HeeksCNC is a young piece of software.

    An update, an industrial designer is sending me stl files exported from rhino and I am generating gcode with MeshCAM. I am very pleased with the results. Very pleased.
