[QUOTE="brayks, post: 159208, member: 11275"] Actually the initial post should have more specifically indicated that we can take design data (STL format) from virtually any CAD source or machining data from any CAM software capable of producing ISO standard G-code output. Having said that, although our solution utilizes Delcam DentMILL software, the Versamill runs on ISO standard G-code input therefore any CAM software that can "post process" to this format has the ability to produce an output file that can be run the machine. There are of course considerations that must be made for the Versamill in the development of the post processor. This is done in each specific CAM software environment. Also please realize that in these situations the toolpath that is run on the machine is a function of the features/functions of the CAM software used to generate the part program (i.e. program used to machine the restoration). We do not control these programs as the user/operator generates them as a function of their machining templates and/or core CAM software programming tools. I hope this makes sense. We of course can assist our customers through this process. If there is any interest I could provide a quick primer on the general CNC programming process which would include internal processes/files and post processing (converting what appears graphically on the screen into actual machine motion).
