Hi,
I'm new here, and a bit confused about something...
What are my options for converting a mesh model made in Wings3d (a subdivision modelling program) into G-code to send to my 3 axis mill? (When it's complete, that is.) Wings can export in a number of file types, including .obj, which is a wavefront file, I believe. Does it then need to be converted to a parametric solid? If so, what software is good for this?
The general idea is use a 3d scanner (David 3d or Nextengine if one comes up at the right price) to create mesh files to edit in Wings, then output to the mill, machine up and use.
I hope no-one minds me asking this here, I know it's a CAD question rather than a CAM question, but as it all ends up as G-code, it seemed like a good place to post this.
Thanks all,
Richard B
