If you're going to use them for CADCAM you'll need .iges or parasolids .xmt. They are 3D.

re: We need a CAD /CNC Forum---DELIVERED
There is also .sat and .step for 3D/solid modeling.
I use KeyCreator, AutoCad, Solid Edge (rarely used) and Gibbscam at work and have had to work with these and most of the ones already mentioned to work with customers. |

I use SolidEdge V18 for 3D and autocad for 2D. I also model in both in MasterCam V9.

re: We need a CAD /CNC Forum---DELIVERED
I would agree on this!! I would be happy to share and all with cad and CNC files. For CNC files you can also do .txt files and include a blue print!! :-)

re: We need a CAD /CNC Forum---DELIVERED
I would be great to share files and tips. There is a wealth of knowledge and talent here on FG. I don't know how many members have access to machining equipment however I have seen some awesome cad skills !!. This could be combined into one forum.
I'm planning on purchasing some form of modeling software ( Solidworks, Alibre etc). I would love to see some models of servos,mufflers,engines,pipes etc.. This would be so sweet ! FYI, Alibre has a free download on their website. It is the expert version for 30 days. after that it downgrades to a stripped version. Its 100% free and great for our models. I downloaded it but have had very little time to try it out. . . |
