General Mach Discussion / Generating g-code for 4th axis using Unigraphics 3.0

« on: October 18, 2006, 03:11:58 PM »

I am new to the CNC world and have gotten a taste of creating simple programs...not easy.  I am using Unigraphics NX 3.0 and have used the manufacturing application to generate g-code for Mach3 to create simple airfoils.  We recently purchased the 4th axis for the CNC Mill and I need to see if there are any tutorials or something out there that will help me use NX 3.0 to generate the g-code to use the x,y,z, and 4th axes together.  If so, where can I find them.  I need to make...pretty much an impellar.  I have attached a picture.  As I mentioned, I am very new to the CNC world, so anything relevant will help a lot.  Thanks.
