Hello there : )
A fresh member here, just registered to ask a few things on behalf of my father.
He’s a retired mechanical engineer, as a matter of fact an experienced veteran who worked as a system designer, RD chief, etc. for a couple of international companies back then. On the minus side English is not his strong suit (nor mine obviously) and he’s also a bit of shy when it comes to asking for help : )))
Well here’s the matter… He qucikly became bored about being retired and jumped into designing small parts for musical instruments. Well… for his old string instruments to be precise. And ended up with the idea of building an uber compact and super silent (errr silent part was an order coming from higher authorities, aka my mother) CNC mill.
He told me that it was enough to send the CAD drawings to the “other builing” if you needed them CNCed. Jokes aside, he has an indisputable command with the industry scale CNC processes but ironically only just a little when it downscaled to a… errr…. hobby level.
I told him to buy a small scalle machine and get away with it but he insisted of making his own.
So, in terms of software, what is the most streamlined way from designing in his favorite CAD software (being ?nventor) to have finished parts (CNC milled, and I underline the milled) in a garage envirenment?
I hope there’s a solution where he can run his upcoming CNC bench from within the Inventor. Or something closest to that.
Your comments will be highly appreciated : )
Warm regards
