Solidworks part file and a drawing to express tolerances and intent and my part was done.įast forward a whole bunch of years, and now I have some small-scale CNC machines of my own - an XCarve 3-axis gantry router, a Wabeco D2000 2-axis lathe that I CNC converted myself, and a G0704-clone 3-axis mill that is destined for CNC conversion as well (I'm building the control box at the moment).
He used MasterCAM as his programming tool, but I never touched it.
I'd do up the part in Solidworks, give our machinist the Solidworks geometry and a drawing, he'd tell me how he couldn't make it, we'd argue for a bit, he'd get revised geometry and a drawing, and a part would find its way into my hands. Big chunks of my job was designing parts for manufacture in a HAAS 3-axis mill.
Once upon a time, I was the engineer for an auto racing team.
