They are professionals.That's why it's better to work with professionals.
You are professional when you doing it for al living.
You are an amateur when you're doing it out of fun.
Thats no indication of quality.
I didn't expect that stuff from the 3D data would be MISSING! I figured that the 3D data is automatically translated into data for the CAD machine, but it seems there's still some manual interaction, as these support pegs were missing!
Normaly the file is uploaded in the mill and then the path has to be optimised. But as I said: ecgwe
I'm working in the chipping and manufaction area.
And its far from "press a button in CAD and the machines produce the part".
And normally the CAD-files don't get uploaded to the CNC machines.
CNC-Machines get feeded with G-Code or similar.
Yes the same code like 3D printer.
The normale way is this:
The CAD model-person gives the CAD files to the programmer.
He loads the files into CAM.
There he/she selects which feature gets machined on a selected machine with the choosen tool in the selected strategy.
And when this programmer don't pay enough attention, he / she misses some features.
This happened to me one or two times too.
(And this is the stage where often heated battles between CAD designer & programmer are fought because of wanted / needed features & real world production restriction / laws of physics.)
After this procedure the "raw instructions" get exported from CAM and get translated to G-Code, Haidenhein Code,... by the post processor which is cusomised to match the used machines.
And at the end, the code get send to the machine before the part gets manufactored.
There are some companies where the programs get written on the machine.
But because the machine stands still while the program gets written, most companies write the programs external while the CNC machines produce parts.
