We would like to produce wood parts from our designs either by purchasing cnc equipment or working with a cnc shop. We have designed parts using a 3D modeling program and can provide the files in several formats.
I downloaded the trial version of MillWizard, and it seems to have no problem reading .stl formatted files.
I have prepared four sample parts in the .stl format located here:
http://www.adg1.com/temp/shopbot/samples.htm
Is it possible for someone to look at these files and tell me if a ShopBot can make these parts?
If they can be fabricated with a shopbot, can the files be translated as they are, or is further file preparation necessary?
How many more steps to get to a real part if we worked with a shop?
Would a typical shop using a shopbot have any issues making parts like these?
Any input or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris DeStevens
