how to generate Gcode (CNC) using proE widfire 3.0

(OP)
Hi everyone,

I am looking for tutorials concerning the generation of Gcode programs (for the CNC machine tools) using ProE wildfire 3.0 .
Is is something hard to do ? If some of you are used to do it, maybe a step by step explanation would be enough as well!

Thanks by advance for your inputs.
Thomas

RE: how to generate Gcode (CNC) using proE widfire 3.0

Hi
first thing i am not a expert in CNC machining, but APT code generation is not very difficult in proe. u can find tutorials on it. for G-codes as i remember correctly, u have to have machine controller information (a file of proe).
i hope this will put u in right direction.

Hi,

I am not a Machinist, I am CAD person, know little bit on ProE.

First of all  you need to choose machining operation on part
Face Milling, Step up Milling ,volume milling, Step Down Milling, Box Milling , Drilling etc.
Then for each operation select necessary Face or Volume,Tool or cutter,Depth of Cut, Retract , Coolant. etc.

after this you can play dry run to check your part.if there is no problem you can select controller of your cnc machine like Fanuk, Mozak etc. Run simulator.
you will get CNC code for that particular part for particular controller.



Thanks
