Impressive stuff! I've been planning to **** around on the CNC machine here at school during the Christmas break to make a few Wings related items... All my CAD experience is in mechanical engineering stuff, so I'm not too sure how you tell a program to make intricate shapes without drawing it by hand in the CAD as a series of complicated extrusions :S
Any hints?!?
I know when I did CAM programming in college we would imput JPEG files into AutoCAD, trace them with the polyline command, then save them in a filetype (dont recall how I did it exactly) that was compatible with MasterCAM and the CNC mill cut it out. It might be simpler now where MasterCAM can handle JPEG files and go from there.... hope it helps.
