Hi guys, I'm a complete noob when it comes to CAM but I do have access to a CNC machine (and people who know how to work it). I just wanted to ask, are the SolidWorks files listed in the Robot Kits section all I need to mill the aluminium parts or is there something else that I need?

 

Thanks!

Ive never machined the parts myself but I believe the step files are typically used for import into CNC machining but if you have solidworks 2019 you should be able to convert to any file type needed. Hopefully someone with more experience than me will chime in.

In the solidworks kit if all the part files come, from which you can generate the G code necessary for machining.
