I learnt how to machine using pro/e in uni and did bloody well at it to, and have now decided to purchase myself a little cnc mini mill for the shed and have been told to use something called TurboCNC.
Now, as I see it, if I'm trained in using pro/e to cut paths and produce G Codes, and use vericut to simulate it, why don't I do just that.
Problem is, we were never tought how Pro/e interacts with a CNC mill or if it's even possible for that either.
So............Is it possble to link pro/e to a CNC machine, and if so how?
I have WF 2.0 and a 3 axis mill (soon to be upgraded to 4 axis) and am running a Dell Precision M60 with which the CNC machine will be linked via the parallel port.
Also, what would you guys and girls recommend for learning, ie, book name, certain CD training guide etc etc.
Cheers
Phil
