hello,
is it difficult to learn a CNC program?
i have a still active catia v6 (student) version, but not for long anymore (couple of months, half a year or maybe a little more).
i have some training materials for milling, but i don't have a machine at my disposal.
would that be sufficient to learn at least the basics of milling? would transitioing from that program to a real machine be linear (just plug in the correct postproc and we have a go)?
where do you get the optimal cutting speeds (rotation, velocity of movement) for different cutting tools? SANDVIK is a renouned tool company around here.
and anymore tips that you guys could give me?
except go through the tutorials, read the help and then design different parts and try to make a milling program for them?
i am located in central europe and am currently unemployed due to a troublesome economy.
mech engineer just graduated (design, mechanics field of ME though, not production technology)
but i still have catv6 and solidworks student @my disposal.
best regards
