This is an area I've been curious about. Is it currently possible to generate CNC instructions automatically from a 3D model or are manual steps required ?

- VBprogrammer 14y agoTool paths are generated from a 3d model. Generally there is some degree of manual intervention to determine order of operations or choosing the correct tool path algorithm. The below is a good read if you are particularly interested. http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/gcnc/ http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/gcnc/
- robotico 14y agoI would agree with VBprogrammer's response - "Automatic" tools are available, but generally it takes some work to get everything correct.
