Morning chief. Amazon is a smart cookie of a company.

In that case, I'm probably not your guy. The way we write the code is to build the parts/assemblies in NX8.5 (like Solidworks only more powerful). Then we have to go into manufacturing mode, create the tooling we need/want to use, perform speeds/feeds for all tooling, perform cutting paths for the tooling, then run the final manufactured model through Vericut to ensure we don't have any collisions with part walls, vise, etc. Then, we have to get a post-processor for the specific CNC we will be using and run it through that. At that point, we get gcode and have only barely skimmed the surface of what the code actually means.

Then thanks for the offer! I'm looking to start manufacturing a few parts I have designed and a few other things. Is there a program out there that will translate cadd into machine code? I'm green when it comes to CNC but learning.
