3 axis data points on lathe

permalink

I have software that generates a file containing xyz data points in text format. The xyz data points have 2 radii and the z data is the contour over the 2 radii. What would be the easiest and fastest way to convert this file into two, 2D files that can run on a lathe. If you could not tell I am a total newbie when it comes to CAD/CAM.

Thanks in advance for you input.
