The Milling Process

This guide outlines a streamlined three-step sequence for the milling process, starting from CAD design in Solidworks or Draftsight. It emphasizes the importance of designing with machining strategies in mind, including considerations for cutter geometry and layering for cut sequences. You'll learn how to convert your designs into G-code using SheetCAM, including selecting tools, defining cut sequences, and optimizing feeds and speeds. Finally, discover how to effectively use Mach3 to execute your G-code for precise milling operations.
