Newbie- IGS FILES TO GCODE

[vagelism22678]

Hello to all.
I am new to this hobby.
I have built a cnc axminster x2 milling machine and I have some 3D modeling files.
So now the next step...How I will make this file to g-code?
This is a 3d model and I want to make it g-code in 6 different steps, one for each side of the metal piece that I have.
Any idea? What software may I use?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I want to transfer this 3d shape to a piece of metal. I think it will need more than 10 tools and manyt times to turn the piece upside down or left write because I have only a 3 axis machine.
So I want a program to generate all this work for me and prompt me any time I have to change tools and change the side of the piece.
Thank you!

You first need a software like mastercam or some other programming software.. One you have the software... you need to import your iges files, set your origins and set tool operations for each process. If you get the software and need help. I would be more than willing to assist you. Topic is too broad right now.
