Best CAM practices
(OP)
We are using Gibbs CAM now and I was looking for tips on the best practices for supplying our 3D models for programming. We can supply our programmer with SW part files but whats the best way to do that?
Give him a copy keep the original out of harms way what if a REV. is done. Just overwrite that copied file? Basicaly should that file for programing reference the orginal in case there is a REV. etc.? If thats even possbile? I suppose i could insert the "master" part into a part and supply that.
Thanks

RE: Best CAM practices
I have not used Gibbs, maybe it would work the same.
