just today we have had some problems with a very special special machine that is from North America...,why spending $3000 dollars for the post processor if it does not even work????????

we pay for the post and after more fees to fix it? why Mastercam?
Yeah, that's not fair. You buy the MasterCAM post and then it doesn't work, they should fine-tune it for free or refund the money.

We just went on a tour yesterday, at a place that manufactures parts for jet fighters.

They had Mazak. I kind of winced: not because these aren't good machines but because I'm being trained on a FIRST mill, etc, and Mazak means starting over.

So, share with the class ! How well did the NX (formerly Unigraphics) work out as far as product design and gcode output ?

The Youtube demos are awesome.
